Both the actor and the studio can agree that their contract can be assigned. Assigning contracts is generally allowed as long as both parties agree to it, and in this case, the actor and the studio can mutually decide to assign the contract to another studio or assign the actor to a different movie within the same studio. Option A is incorrect, as the movie studio cannot unilaterally assign the contract without the actor's consent. Option B is incorrect, as the contract is specific to the comedy movie mentioned and does not automatically include the actor in other movies. Option C is also incorrect, as contract assignment refers to transferring the agreement to another party, and is not relevant to an actor's ability to assign their contract in case of injury.
