C. Student Chef's right to receive payment from the client is assignable.

Explanation:

When something is delegated and the contractor agrees, all the responsabilities ansd payments goes to the company that the task got delegated to.

In this case, if Wolfgang fails its task is full responsability on him because the task was already delegated to him, such as the payments. In consequence, Student Chef's right to receive payment from the client is no longer viable.
