    Answer: A. will be enforced because Ben exercised forbearance, which is legally sufficient consideration.

    Explanation: Forbearance can be defined as refraining from doing something that one has a legal right to do or a delay in enforcing a legal right.

    From the above question Jackie will be enforced to pay the agreed $1000 to Ben because Ben deliberately delayed his legal right to go skydiving for six months.
