    Option - b

    Explanation:

    Arbitration is a method to solve quarrels outside the court. The quarrel will be decided by the arbitral tribunal which gives the arbitration award. This award is lawfully compulsory from both the parties and enforceable in the courts.

    The court can impose but these awards will be overturned by the court only in special cases. The court will declare void, or ignore to accept an arbitration award if it is a fraud product or misbehavior by the arbitrator.
