B Correct answer
Explanation

When an agreement contains both legal and illegal parts that are severable, the legal part remains valid and enforceable. The doctrine of severability allows courts to strike down only the illegal portion while preserving the lawful agreement. This applies when the legal part can exist independently without the illegal provision.
