The correct answer is: D. regard the contract between them as terminated 
Explanation:
The agreement between Chinyere and Halima specifies a fixed delivery date (September 20, 1995).
This makes the date a “time is of the essence” clause.
In contracts where time is essential, failure to perform by the agreed date allows the other party to treat the contract as terminated.
Why the other options are less suitable:
A. sue for damages 
– Possible in some cases, but the key point here is the fixed delivery date, which gives the right to terminate immediately.
B. sue for specific performance – Specific performance is less common for personal service contracts (like making a dress), because forcing someone to perform may be impractical.
C. seize another gown from Chinyere’s shop – Not legally allowed; Halima cannot take goods without consent.
