Delegation refers to the transfer of duties from one party (the delegator) to another party (the delegatee). When a delegation occurs, the delegatee is responsible for performing the duties assigned by the delegator. However, the delegatee is not liable to the obligee (the party to whom the duties are owed) for nonperformance or for any damages resulting from nonperformance. This means that the obligee cannot sue the delegatee for breach of contract or negligence, unless the delegatee assumed liability or failed to perform due to bad faith or incompetence. Therefore, option C is the correct answer, as it states that the delegatee is not liable to the obligee for nonperformance.
