Explanation:

- Option 1: If A sells land to C, and C knows about A's agreement with B, B can enforce specific performance against C. This is because C is aware of B's existing contract.

- Option 2: If B is in possession of the land, C should inquire about B's rights. B’s possession acts as a notice. Thus, B can enforce specific performance against C.

- Option 3: Both scenarios allow B to enforce specific performance because C either had actual notice or constructive notice.

- Option 4: Only the situation in Option 2 is recognized.
