b. only disaffirm the entire contract

Explanation:

Breaking a contract is a term used economically to refer to the right of every citizen to waive a contract with a company and to nullify any legal obligations that are imposed by that contract. An example of this can be seen in the above question that shows Egbert's case. Egbert has entered into a contract with CompuStore to purchase a video game system and a computer chair, but Egbert wants to avoid the video game system contract, in which case he must terminate all the contract and then make a new contract only to The computer chair.
