Beth goes to Dr. Carlton for surgery. Carlton says that Beth should be fully healed within a week. Beth is not healed within a week. With respect to breach of contract, Carlton isA. liable. B. not liable, because surgery is not a proper subject for a contract. C. not liable, because the statement was an opinion.

D. not liable, but Beth is excused from paying Carlton.

Answer: C) not liable, because the statement was an opinion.

Explanation:

Breach of contract is described as legal promise which is broken by a contract-involved party that is done between two or more parties to bind them into an agreement or contract to keep that lawful and formal promise

According to the question, Carlton is not legally answerable for Beth not getting well in a week because he gave a opinion in the form of belief that Beth can get well. As Carlton did not make a legal promise is cannot be considered liable for Beth not getting well.

Other options are incorrect because Carlton is not answerable to Beth's situation legally. Surgery can be considered for contract but in this case it is not lawful agreement. Beth is neither getting excused for paying Carlton.

Thus, the correct option is option (C).
