Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario Wolfgang is entitled to a lien because Hans owes a debt based on the contract to improve the sofa. Regardless of what kind of contract, both parties entered an agreement and only Wolfgang held up his part of the agreement. Therefore Hans owes Wolfgang payment, and failure to do so entitles Wolfgang to a lien.
