Mark applies and is accepted to the New York City School of Law. The school agrees to lend Mark the $10,000 per year in tuition on the condition that he pay the $30,000 back within two years of his graduation. Mark graduates from Law School on June 1st, 2001 and he must pay back the $30,000 by June 1st, 2003.

Accordingly, the school can sue for the books but not for the $30,000 and A is the correct answer
