A force majeure clause in a contract (Option D) provides relief from contractual obligations due to future events that are beyond the control of the parties and make the contract impossible to execute. This clause is standard in contracts to protect all parties involved from circumstances such as natural disasters, war, or other "acts of God" that prevent one or all parties from fulfilling their contractual duties. It is not about coercion, bias, or misleading statements but about managing risk in unforeseen scenarios.
