Judith works as an office assistant at the Octan consulting firm. Octan assists clients within a five$-$mile radius of its office. Octan has a client list that was compiled from publicly available sources. Octan also has a unique manual of consulting techniques, which it keeps secret through numerous safeguards. Judith's employment contract has a noncompete clause that prohibits her from working for a consulting company within a $50-$mile radius for $10$ years after she leaves Octan. It also prohibits Judith from using the client list and the manual of consulting techniques. Judith leaves Octan, and six months later, she takes a job at a competing consulting company that is about $10$ miles away from Octan. Which prohibition in the noncompete convenant is a court most likely to enforce?

the manual of consulting techniques

the client list

the $50$ mile radius

the $10$ year duration
