4) an assignment and a delegation.

Explanation:

A contract assignment occurs when one party involved in a contract, called the assignor, transferred the contract's performance duties and benefits to a third party, called the assignee. The obligations acquired by a contract cannot be transferred to an assignee without the consent of the other party involved (not the assignor), so the assignor can transfer duties to perform and benefits but not obligations.

In this case, Beneficial assigned its contract with Animal Feed to Crop Transport, and delegated its duties to perform and benefits to Animal Feed.
