B. Bilateral Contract

Explanation
A bilateral contract is a type of contract where both parties involved are obligated to perform certain actions or fulfill certain obligations. In this type of contract, both parties have mutual promises and responsibilities. Unlike a unilateral contract where only one party is bound to perform, a bilateral contract requires both parties to fulfill their obligations. This means that if one party fails to perform, the other party can take legal action against them for breach of contract. Therefore, a bilateral contract is the correct answer as it best describes a contract where both sides must perform.
