D. The court will order Ralph to pay compensatory damages in the amount of the difference between the two contracts.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The court will issue a preliminary injunction barring Ralph from playing with any team other than the Jets during the course of the lawsuit.

Explanation:

Signing a contract means that both the offering and the accepting parties are agreeing over the particular protocols. Offer, acceptance, and consideration are the important aspects of the contract. The acceptance of both parties over the same norms is the most essential part of the contract.

In the above situation, Ralph has violated the agreed contract with the Jets. He went forward and signed another contract with Giants. This action of Ralph was a strict violation of the contract agreed on by Ralph and Jets.  According to the judicial proceedings, Ralph was ordered to obey the contract and was barred from playing with any other team.
