Which of the following is not a remedy for breach of contract:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
A fine is not the ordinary civil remedy for breach of contract. Damages compensate the injured party, while specific performance can require the promised performance and an injunction can restrain conduct contrary to a contractual obligation when the legal conditions permit. A contractual penalty clause is dealt with as a claim for reasonable compensation under Section 74 of the Contract Act; it is different from a punitive fine.
