Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Assignments made by operation of law, for the right to receive monetary payments, and for the right to receive damages for a breach of contract to sell goods or services can often be assigned despite an antiassignment clause. This is because such assignments are generally considered exceptions to the enforceability of antiassignment clauses, recognizing the practical need to allow for certain types of assignments to occur for reasons of public policy, efficiency, or the protection of the assignee's rights.
