A buyer calls the seller's listed business number. A person answers, "Seller Auto Parts," discusses the buyer's pending order, gives the correct invoice number, and promises shipment. At trial, the buyer offers testimony about the call. The seller objects that no one identified the speaker by name. What is the best ruling?

Exclude the call because business calls require testimony from the person who answered.
Admit the call because dialing the listed business number and the conversation's contents sufficiently authenticate it as a business call.
Exclude the call unless telephone-company records identify the speaker.
Admit the call only if the speaker later signed a written confirmation.
