    d.) Jones is an incidental beneficiary and has no right to sue for Ace Construction's breach of the contract.

    Explanation:

    Jones was not a direct party to the contract, in fact, any profit which he was supposed to receive was incidental in nature and thus he cannot sue Ace Construction's breach of the contract.
