Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Satyabrata Ghose explains that the Indian rule is the positive statutory law of supervening impossibility or illegality in section 56, not a general judicial search for an implied term or a just and reasonable solution. Impossible is read practically, rather than as physical impossibility alone. An express contractual contingency may instead fall under section 32.
