Which statement is true regarding Jamal's claim that he had no duty to pick up the paint cans?

A) Jamal is correct because he validly delegated that duty to Greg.
B) Jamal is incorrect because the job was for the performance of a personal service, and he had no right to assign either rights or duties under the contract.
C) Jamal is incorrect, but only because the job was for under $1,000.
D) Jamal is correct only because Greg properly painted the house and was, therefore, responsible for ancillary obligations. If Greg had improperly painted the house, Jamal would have still had remaining duties.
E) Jamal is incorrect because his delegation did not affect his obligation to Stephanie. Normal 0 false false false EN-IN X-NONE X-NONE
