Correct option is A
The
Assertion (A) that a stranger to a contract cannot enforce the contract is correct, and the
Reason (R) that this is because the stranger is not a party to the contract and cannot take the benefit is also true. In contract law, only the parties to the contract are bound by its terms and can enforce it, following the doctrine of privity of contract.
Information Booster:
The privity of contract rule holds that a person who is not a party to a contract cannot sue on the contract, even if it was made for their benefit. This rule prevents third parties from enforcing contractual obligations unless they are specifically mentioned as beneficiaries or fall under one of the exceptions to the privity rule.
Additional Knowledge:
·
Exceptions to privity of contract: Certain beneficiaries, such as in contracts made in trust, or under statutory exceptions, may have the right to enforce the contract despite not being direct parties.
