Douglas Smith · Answer 1

c. can require Jim to specifically perform the contract.

Explanation:

Specific performance is a remedy used in contract law by which the non-breaching party requires a court to order that the breaching party fulfills the performance included in a valid contract.

In this case, Oleta can request a court order that forces Jim to sell the lava lamp to her at the price specified in the contract.
