Quizplus · Accepted Answer

O'Grady is legally obligated to pay Robinson the $5,000 debt on time. Option A is not a legal performance as it violates the terms of the contract and may result in additional penalties or legal action. Option B is also not a legal performance as Robinson has the right to require payment in a reasonable manner, such as currency bills. Option D is legal but may not be the best choice for O'Grady if he wants to avoid any potential disputes with Robinson. Option E is also not a legal performance as it may be seen as harassment or trespassing. Therefore, the best choice is to pay Robinson on time in $5 bills, which is a legal performance and also satisfies O'Grady's desire to express his resentment towards Robinson.
