    The correct answer is letter "D": nominal damages.

    Explanation:

    Nominal damages are granted as monetary rewards when a legal fault takes place but there has not been substantial damage because of it. It is said that the fact of granting the fault represents more of a moral act. Usually, if awarded, the plaintiff may receive $1 or $2.

    In the case, as Max suffered no loss because of Lew's delay while painting his house, if he decides to sue him he will be awarded nominal damage for the contract breach.
