Melvin enters into a 10-year contract with George for the use of George's boat three times each year from June to September. The contract specifically states that the contract cannot be modified. After a few years, George decides that he no longer wants Melvin to be able to use the boat in September. Melvin agrees to limit his use to June, July, and August, in exchange for a small reduction in the yearly rent. In the seventh year of the contract, Melvin notifies George that he wants to use the boat in the first week of September. George tells Melvin that he can't use the boat, because they modified the contract. Is George correct?
 
  A) Yes, because the reduction in rent overrides any non-modification clause in the agreement.
  B) Yes, because parties are always free to modify their contract, regardless of any statement to the contrary in the contract.
  C) No, because George did not pay any consideration for the modification.
  D) No, because the contract specifically stated that it could not be modified.
