I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Is there a difference between a "liquidated damages clause" and an "unliquidated damages clause"? I'll have to review my notes to make sure I understand the distinction.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is that a liquidated damages clause is a genuine pre-estimate of the loss, not a penalty. So that rules out the "penalty clause" option. I'm going with B, liquidated damages clause.
