Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Hadley v. Baxendale (1854) concerns "Damages for breach of contract": it laid down the rule of remoteness under which the injured party recovers only losses arising naturally in the usual course of things from the breach, or losses that both parties could reasonably have contemplated at the time of contracting as the probable result of breach. The same rule is embodied in Section 73 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
