2010年10月8日,甲施工单位向乙建材供应商发去电子邮件,求购一批墙面涂料,单价500元一桶,数量为80桶,要求10月20目前到货,货到付款。乙公司收到电子邮件后于10月9日回复“同意”,但需要甲先支付1万元定金,甲公司收到邮件后表示接受,并于10月11日将1万元定金汇款给乙公司。乙公司收到定金后随即与丙运输公司签订涂料运输合同,将货物委托丙运至甲的施工工地。丙公司因自身原因逾期发货,在运输途中又遭遇大暴雨,导致部分涂料进水,期间丙公司向乙公司报告了这一情况。涂料运至甲施工工地后,有10桶涂料不能使用,乙公司立即与甲施工单位协商,立即让丙公司补运涂料至甲施工工地,甲公司为了尽快完成工程只好同意,但还是因此延误了5天工期。

A.要约

B.要约邀请

C.承诺

D.新要约

答案

参考答案:C

解析: 注意此处不是新要约,新要约是对要约的内容作实质性变更,而这里追加先支付1万元定金一条并没有改变原要约的实质性内容,属于承诺。
