If a person who is incapable of entering into a contract is supplied with necessaries by another person, then the latter shall:

Be reimbursed for such supplies by a relative of the incapable person and that relative must be capable of contracting
Be reimbursed for such supplies from the property of such incapable person
Be reimbursed for such supplies from the property of such incapable person
Not entitled to be reimbursed at all

The correct answer is: B. Be reimbursed for such supplies from the property of such incapable person.

A person who is incapable of entering into a contract is known as a “necessaries creditor.” Necessaries are goods or services that are necessary for the person’s basic needs, such as food, clothing, and shelter. If a necessaries creditor supplies necessaries to an incapable person, the creditor is entitled to be reimbursed for the cost of the necessaries from the property of the incapable person.

Option A is incorrect because it is not necessary for the relative of the incapable person to be capable of contracting. The only requirement is that the relative is a relative of the incapable person.

Option C is incorrect because it is not necessary for the necessaries to be supplied from the property of the incapable person. The necessaries can be supplied from any source, including the property of the necessaries creditor.

Option D is incorrect because the necessaries creditor is entitled to be reimbursed for the cost of the necessaries. The only question is whether the reimbursement will come from the property of the incapable person or from another source.
