Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The court held that the wrongdoer may not complain of inexactness where his actions preclude precise computation to the extent of the injury.The fact that Meyer and Pratt could lose profits if they were ousted from the project was reasonably within the contemplation of the parties at the time of Christie and Glenn's wrongdoing,and the amount of profits was proven with reasonable certainty at trial.
