Answer:B. Teddy's agreement with Andrea and Cami, only.

Explanation:

Consideration is anything of value that moves from both parties to a contract, it must equally be specific and devoid of ambiguity.

The agreement with Andrea and Camil both meet these requirements. However the agreement with Lorne is not devoid of ambiguity because we are not sure of the amount of his consideration.
