Explanation:

- When your performance of a promise depends on a third party’s act, and that third party fails to perform, the contract becomes void.

- This is because the contract depends on a condition precedent. If that condition (third party's performance) fails, the main contract cannot be carried out, so it is void.

- Option 1: Is not discharged – This is incorrect. If performance becomes impossible due to third party non-performance, the contract doesn’t remain enforceable.

- Option 2: Is discharged – Not entirely accurate, as “discharged” usually means performance is completed or contract is terminated for other reasons.

- Option 3: Becomes void – Correct answer. The contract becomes void when the dependent event (third party’s act) fails.

- Option 4: Becomes voidable – Not correct, as voidable contracts depend on the will of one party, not external events.
