Which of the following is not one of the modes of discharging a contract?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Subrogation substitutes one person into another’s rights, such as when a surety acquires a creditor’s rights after payment. It is not itself a mode of discharging a contract. Performance, frustration and lapse of the applicable limitation period are conventionally treated as modes of discharge, although limitation ordinarily bars the remedy rather than extinguishing the underlying right.
