The rules of contract interpretation will give effect to the parties' intent as expressed in their contract, regardless of any later disputes or unclear terms. This is because the contract is the best evidence of the parties' intentions at the time of the agreement, and the court will try to enforce the agreement according to those intentions. Choices B, C, and D all suggest alternative sources of intent, such as the defendant's or plaintiff's claims or the parties' current agreement, but these are not necessarily reliable indicators of what the parties intended when they entered into the contract.
