[Useless Friend] Antoine and Tevis are roommates. Antoine has Tevis sign a contract promising to wash Antoine's car once a week for $80 per month in payment. The contract incorporated by reference terms on the back. The terms on the back were in very small print and required Tevis to cook dinner for Antoine, do his laundry, and clean their apartment. Antoine is also very angry with his former girlfriend, Flora, and decides to start rumors that would constitute the tort of defamation. He spreads via SnapChat that Flora cheated on tests and stole from friends. Antoine wants to enlist the help of Tevis in smearing Flora but knows that Tevis would be hesitant to assist in his endeavors. One evening, however, Tevis comes home clearly intoxicated - a fact apparent to Antoine. Antoine has him sign a contract agreeing to defame Flora for $50. When he sobers up, Tevis tells Antoine that he was drunk and that he has no intention of defaming Flora, who also happens to be the best friend of Tevis's new girlfriend. He also finally takes a look at the contract involving work for Antoine and tells Antoine that the contract is outrageous.
-Tevis's claim that he had no obligation to defame Flora is supported by which of the following statements?
A) Tevis is correct in that he could not be legally obligated to commit defamation.
B) Tevis is correct only if it can be proven that the defamation would cause Flora money damages.
C) Tevis is correct only if it can be proven that the defamation would cause Flora actual injury.
D) Tevis is correct only if it can be proven that the defamation is undeserved.
