Answer 1

B will succeed in the case

Explanation:

"B will succeed in the case" is correct. 'A' cannot get the agreement informed as the facts of the case enumerate that 'A'  obtained the will of 'B' by an act amounting to criminal intimidation under IPC. Further guiding principle specifies that the person who obtained the consent of other people by committing any act forbidden by IPC  cannot get the agreement enforced by law.
