What type of agency is created through actions or deeds, whether intentional or otherwise?

The correct choice is implied agency, which is established through the actions or conduct of the parties involved, rather than through formal agreement or explicit consent. In situations where one party acts in a way that suggests they are representing another party, or when the behaviors of the parties indicate an agency relationship exists, an implied agency can be formed.

For example, if a homeowner frequently allows a friend to negotiate the sale of their property without explicitly granting them permission or entering into a written agreement, the actions may imply that the friend is acting as an agent.
