Specific performance is a remedy where a party asks the court to order the breaching party to perform its obligations under the contract. In this case, Jill entered into a contract with Kim to buy a certain office building, and Kim refuses to transfer title at the closing. The appropriate remedy for Jill would be to seek specific performance, which would require Kim to transfer title to the office building in accordance with the terms of the contract. Thus, the best option is B, to obtain the exact bargain promised in the contract.
