Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Transferring a duty under a contract to another party, known as a delegation of duties, does not relieve the original party (Lew) of the obligation to perform if the delegatee (Nye) fails to perform. Lew remains potentially liable to Mavis to ensure the contract's terms are fulfilled.
