R&R, Inc entered into a contract with Scott, an agent, under the terms of which Scott would receive $20,000 if he stole trade secrets from the leading competitor of R&R. Scott performed his end of the agreement by delivering the trade secrets. If R&R now refuses to pay Scott for his services, Scott:

A) may recover based upon the express contract of the parties.
B) may recover based upon a quasi-contractual theory in order to prevent the unjust enrichment of R&R.
C) will be unable to recover, because this is an illegal contract.
D) will be able to recover based upon promissory estoppel, because he has detrimentally relied upon the promises made by R&R.
