Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Specific performance is typically granted when the party's legal remedy (such as monetary damages) is inadequate to compensate for the breach of contract. This is often the case in contracts involving unique items or real estate, where monetary compensation cannot easily replace the specific item or property in question. The requirement for a contract to be in writing or the involvement of a minor are not direct conditions for the granting of specific performance.
