Stone v. Mississippi (1880) is the only option that directly addresses the Contracts Clause and a lottery company being prohibited from selling tickets in a state. Charles River Bridge Company v. Warren Bridge Company (1837) deals with the issue of whether a state can grant an exclusive bridge franchise, while Home Building and Loan Association v. Blaisdell (1934) involves the state's ability to modify mortgage contracts during times of economic crisis. Therefore, B is the best choice.
