Answer:

B. Krieg's agreements are void

Explanation:

The bar examination, is the examination that is administered by a jurisdiction's bar association that a lawyer needs to pass before being admitted to the bar of that jurisdiction.

It is the Examination that Lawyers need to pass before they can be given license to practice law in a jurisdiction.

Since Kreig is yet to write his Bar Examination successfully, whatever documents he writes and signs as a Lawyer is void, because,he doesn't have the right to practice law in his Jurisdiction yet.
