The concept being tested is how certain damages remedies begin to run and contribute to the total award. Reduction of damages is the remedy that accrues from the date of breach and is added to the damages because it represents an offset or modification that compounds with the base damages once the breach occurs. In other words, once the contract is breached, this remedy activates and flows into the overall damages calculation, increasing what the nonbreaching party can recover. The other options don’t fit this timing or effect: limits on damages cap or restrict recovery, litigation expenses are incurred in pursuing the claim but aren’t a remedy that automatically accrues from the breach, and reliance damages are a separate measure of loss based on expenses incurred in reliance on the contract, calculated differently from the accruing remedy described here.
