A contingent remainder is a future interest in a third party that may or may not become possessory upon the happening of an event or condition. In choice B, the future interest in Arthur's first-born son is contingent upon the condition that Arthur has a male child. If he does not, the future interest would go to the Catholic Church. The other choices do not contain a condition or event upon which the future interest is contingent.
