B Correct answer
Explanation

This is a contingent contract because A's obligation to pay depends on the uncertain future event of being able to go on a foreign tour. Unlike a wagering contract which involves pure chance without any legitimate interest, this contract appears to be based on A's actual plans and ability to travel. The event is uncertain but not a matter of pure chance or speculation.
