Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Tomas has substantially performed his duties under the contract by installing the door and a doorknob that closely resembles what was agreed upon, even though the doorknob was not exactly as specified (silver). This is considered substantial performance because the main purpose of the contract was fulfilled, with only a minor deviation from the agreed terms.
