Moshe Moyer · Answer 1

The correct answer is : D. Not honor the delegation because the contract is based on personal skill.

Explanation:

This concept refers to the method used in a contract to transfer one party's obligations to another party. In this case, it cannot be honored because the responsibility of carrying out the performance agreed to in a contract was given to Samantha and there is no permission given to subordinate that job.
