Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Under the Explanation to Section 73 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, in estimating the loss or damage arising from a breach of contract, the means which existed of remedying the inconvenience caused by the non-performance of the contract must be taken into account. Under this rule of mitigation of damages, compensation is not awarded for any "increased loss due to conduct of aggrieved person" where the claimant failed to take reasonable steps to mitigate the loss.
