Answer: B. Pell: No; Astor: Yes.

Explanation: According to Termination of agency law:

-An agent is entitled to renounce his power by refusing to act or by notifying the principal that he will not act for the principal.

The agent can terminate the agency first in absence of contractual agreement relating to the provision of duration of contract.
