B.) is liable for specific performance.

C.) will likely have to pay Brian damages if Brian decides to sue them.

Answer: C.) will likely have to pay Brian damages if Brian decides to sue them.

Explanation: According to the information presented in the scenario above, Lovely Landscapes are contracted to Brian and Soria and as such responsible for mowing the lawn of Brian's landscape. Lovely landscape's failure to show up or contact Brian and Soria explaining why they won't be able to fulfil their contract terms could be attached to a breach of contract which could involve Lovely Landscapes paying Brian and Soria damages for their no-show if Brian intends to pursue a case or sue Lovely landscapes.
