Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Haruko's obligation to deliver apples to Fresh Produce is discharged as it has become impossible to fulfill the contract due to the destruction of Garden Orchard's apple crop by bad weather, which is an event beyond the control of the parties involved. This falls under the category of impossibility of performance or frustration of purpose.
