Braylen Beltran · Answer 1

(D) profits plus the costs incurred up to the time of the breach.

Explanation:

Commerce Centre corporation started the project with Builder's Inc, and Builder's Inc performed the project well. So a termination of the project was not based on bad performance.

Builder's Inc has the right to file for breach of contract by Commerce Centre corporation. They can request a recovery of profit plus cost incurred up till the time of contract breach. This will make up for the resources Builder's Inc has put into the project.
