Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unless the contract explicitly prohibits delegation, a party can delegate their duties to a third party. Grasscutter can have Lawnmower perform the work, but Grasscutter remains responsible for ensuring that the work is done properly, and if Lawnmower fails to do the work properly, Grasscutter can be held liable for any resulting harm to the homeowner. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

Homeowner Enters into an Agreement with Grasscutter to Cut the Grass
