Question: Alex, a contractor that provides mold remediation services, enters into a contract with Pedro to remove mold growing in Pedro's basement. At the time that the agreement was entered into by the parties, Maryland law did not require mold remediation contractors to have a license to provide the service. However, before Alex can begin performance, a law was passed in Maryland requiring contractors like Alex to take an exam and pay a fee to obtain a mold remediation license. In addition, the law requires that contractors possess a bachelor's of science degree in mold remediation. Alex only has a high school diploma. What happens to the contract between Alex and Pedro? Question 13 options: a) Pedro may hold Alex liable for damages caused by Alex's failure to qualify for the mold remediation license. b) Pedro can require Alex to get a bachelor's degree and qualify for the license. c) The agreement will terminate as it has become impossible for Alex to perform it. d) Nothing happens to the agreement, because Alex and Pedro entered into it before the law changed.
