Explanation
Answer: D. The outcome of the lawsuit is that the court will order Charlotte to return the dog. Charlotte will not have to return $300 to Cindy because Charlotte performed her part of the contract by taking care of Cindy's dog for 3 weeks. Charlotte will not have to pay Cindy $1000 for pain and suffering because pain and suffering is not compensable under contract law.
