(A) both are true

Interest is also paid to the creditor in the event of noncompliance when one is found guilty of a fraud in the fulfillment of an obligation as provided in the contract. In this case, the penalty and the interest need to be paid and is awarded to the creditor when the debtor is found to be guilty. The statement is therefore true

S2. The statement is true since in the event of an obligation that is impossible of division, the article 1209 for the condition of impossibility of the right of the creditors.
