John owned an apartment and leased it to Steve. The lease agreement was for one year. After ten months, Steve told John that he was moving out of the apartment immediately. When John went to the apartment, he saw that Steve had put holes in the walls, ruined the carpets, and damaged the wiring. John was told that repairs would take at least two months. John sued Steve for damage to the apartment and for the rent payments for the last two months of the lease. Steve argues that the remaining rent owed should be offset by John's duty to find another tenant and mitigate his damages. The court would most likely rule in favor of

(a) Steve, because John had a duty to mitigate his damages

(b) John, because Steve argued against his recovery in their dispute

(d) John, because the apartment could not be rented for two months due to the damage
