B Correct answer
Explanation

In the landmark contract law case Mohri Bibee v. Dharamdas Ghose (1886), the trial court defendant was Brahmo Dutt, not Dharamdas Ghose as the case title might suggest. Dharamdas Ghose was the appellant, while Brahmo Dutt and Mohri Bibee were the original parties in the trial court. This case established the doctrine of frustration of contract when performance becomes impossible.
