Explanation:

- Coercion: This involves forcing someone to act against their will through threats or pressure. It typically involves physical harm or illegal confinement.

- Fraud: This involves deceit or trickery to gain an unfair advantage or to harm another person. The servant wasn't deceived, but rather influenced.

- Mistake: This occurs when both parties are unaware of a vital fact or are misunderstanding. This situation doesn't suggest any mistake in understanding.

- Undue Influence: This is when a person takes advantage of their powerful position over another. The master-servant relationship can easily lead to undue influence due to the master's authority.

Correct Answer: Option 4, undue influence
