In this situation,

c. C has breached the covenant for quiet enjoyment and B can sue only C for damages.
d. C has breached the covenant for quiet enjoyment and B can only sue A and C for damages if he so chooses.
e. C has not breached the covenant for quiet enjoyment because, as owner of the building, C has the right to do the construction and enter B's premises at any time.
