At trial, D wishes to testify that the contract only called for delivery of 100 crates. P makes a best evidence rule objection How should the Court rule?

A. None of the answers below

B. The court should overrule the objection because a contract is an agreement brought about by the meeting of two minds, not a writing. The writing is only a memorandum of the agreement, not the contract itself.

C. The court should overrule the objection because D is not testifying about the contents of the writing, but about her understanding of the agreement. Thus the best evidence rule does not apply.
