(b) That's right. 

You were asked to select the incorrect statement.

It is incorrect to say that an injunction is a remedy that originates in the common law. Unlike an order of specific performance, which originates in equity, an injunction is available 'as of right' to a plaintiff, rather than being available subject to the court's discretion. 

It is correct to say that an injunction often consists of a court order that restrains or prohibits specified conduct. An injunction can be sought to prevent any likely breach of the law, including a threatened breach of contract.

It is correct to say that a court will not issue an injunction to prevent a threatened breach of contract if doing so has the same effect, in the circumstances, as enforcing specific performance of obligations that involve goodwill and cooperation between the contracting parties.
