Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
When anticipatory repudiation occurs,the nonbreaching party is justified in withholding his own performance and suing for damages right away,without waiting for the time for performance to arrive.If he can show that he was ready,willing,and able to perform his part of the contract,he can recover damages for total breach of the contract.
