C Correct answer
Explanation

Option 3 is correct as the compensation may not be sometimes adequate relief and thus, the court can order for the specific performance only. Option 1 is incorrect as inability to collect compensation is not a base for specific performance. Option 2 is incorrect because it involves a void contract. The death of a defendant can make the contract void if the contract is of personal nature.
