BThe court orders the seller to complete the sale and deliver title✓ Correct
CThe contract is rescinded and earnest money returned

Explanation
Specific performance is a court-ordered remedy requiring the breaching party to fulfill their contractual obligations. In real estate, where each property is considered unique, courts may order a seller to complete the sale and convey title rather than simply awarding money damages.
