Explanation

Rescission (cancellation of contract) may be refused in multiple circumstances under the Specific Relief Act. It can be refused where the contract is voidable/terminable by the plaintiff, or where the contract is unlawful for reasons not apparent on its face and the defendant is more to blame than plaintiff. Option B contains a typo ('balance' should be 'blame'). Both are valid grounds for refusal.
