Explanation:

- A promise to subscribe to a charity is generally not enforceable in court because there's no consideration (something in return) unless the charity has acted on the promise and suffered a loss.

- Voidable contract: This means a valid contract that can be rejected by one party. This doesn't apply here.

- Void agreement: This is an agreement that cannot be enforced by law from the beginning.

- Void contract: This refers to a contract that was valid at first but later became unenforceable.

- Valid contract: This needs consideration and intention to create legal relations. Simply promising to donate to a charity usually lacks legal enforceability.

Correct Answer: Option 2: void agreement.
