What action might be considered a breach of contract?

  1. Following the agreed terms

  2. Discussing terms with other companies

  3. Offering additional benefits

  4. Changing terms without consent

The correct answer is: Discussing terms with other companies

The correct action that constitutes a breach of contract is changing terms without consent. A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to uphold their obligations as outlined in the agreement. In this context, if one party alters the terms of the contract without obtaining the other party's agreement, it fundamentally disrupts the mutual understanding and commitments that were initially established. Contracts are binding agreements where both parties agree to specific terms, so any unilateral changes to these terms can invalidate the original contract and lead to legal repercussions. While discussing terms with other companies may involve negotiations or considerations of alternatives, it typically does not affect the existing contract as long as the terms are honored. Similarly, following the agreed terms and offering additional benefits are actions that do not alter the original agreement and therefore do not constitute a breach.
