A) accord and satisfaction

Explanation:

In contract law, an accord and satisfaction agreement is a binding contract where the parties involved in a previous contract agree to discharge any type of tort claim or other type of liability claim resulting from the breach of the original contract. The terms of the accord and satisfaction agreement generally differ from the terms of the original contract specially regarding the amount of money involved. It is basically a way of settling a dispute without having to spend money in court.
