Answer 1

Answer: Specific performance  

           

Explanation: In simple words, specific performance refers to a remedy in a law under which the court orders the guilty party to perform a specific act in a specific manner.

In the given case, Salim wants to acquire the land he was expecting from Jenna thus no other performance can satisfy that specific need.

Hence he will get remedy under specific performance.
