Option D Miranda is obligated to perform the contract

Explanation:

Hal here has acted as an agent who has formed contract which is in the best interest of Miranda. So this means this contract gives some rights to partners and also imposes some duties (obligations) to fulfill on their part. So both of the partners are obliged to perform the contract. So the option D is correct here.
