Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The skyline and the pine had a contract to deliver a certain quantity of brick to Skyline's business every month on the first week for seven months.

But the Pine Lumber was always late in his delivery, but Skyline does not have the legal right to cancel the contract at the seventh month because if Skyline had problem, they would have cancelled the contract in the first or second month but they failed to do so.

After receiving the bricks late for 6 months and then cancelling the contract on the seventh month is not legal. If they had they would have cancelled it prior.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B
