Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The agreement between Hye and Pat does not contain words of negotiability, which are necessary for an instrument to be considered negotiable. Negotiable instruments must include an unconditional promise or order to pay a fixed amount of money and must be transferable by endorsement or delivery. The contract in question does not meet these criteria.
