Teacher:In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision. Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. You should write an incorrect option. Even though there exist multiple wrong answers, we only need a single wrong answer. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: whether a broker is entitled to a commission for condemnation of property should be analyzed according to ordinary contract principles, including those applicable to oral contracts and contract modification. The focus should be on the agreed scope of the broker's employment, not on extraneous factors such as when the state should take possession.

Holding statements: (A) holding that sufficient evidence existed of an enforceable oral commission agreement between a broker and a cobroker and sustaining the verdict (B) holding part performance of an oral agreement necessary to take the oral agreement out of the statute of frauds must be consistent only with the existence of the alleged oral contract (C) holding that oral listing agreement did not preclude recovery of a commission (D) holding that the evidence was sufficient for the jury to find that an oral agreement existed and that it was not modified (E) holding that broker whose contract called for commission on sale of property was not entitled to commission on transfer of property to partnership in which owner had an interest and that because broker was not entitled to commission under terms of his contract he also could not recover against a third person on theory of tortious interference with that contract
