Adrian operates a recycled metals business and contracts to provide ten tons of scrap steel at $500 per ton to be delivered to Build-It-Rite Materials, Inc, in seven months. An un¬fore¬seen shortage of scrap steel suddenly develops, making it impossible for Adrian to fulfill the contract for less than $5,000 per ton. Adrian's best de¬fense against performing the contract would be that
a. performance of the contract is commercially impracticable.
b. procuring the steel would force the seller into bankruptcy.
c. the law has rendered performance of the contract illegal.
d. the specific subject matter of the contract has been destroyed.
