A Correct answer
Explanation

Under Section 56 of Contract Act (frustration), if after contract formation an event occurs making performance IMPOSSIBLE (not just difficult or expensive), the contract becomes VOID. This is supervening impossibility, not initial impossibility. The question correctly identifies this principle.
