The option that illustrates the concept of mutual agency is:

Jonah signs a purchase agreement with a supplier while Jaycee agrees to hire a marketing firm to drum up business.

This option demonstrates mutual agency because it shows that both partners can act on behalf of the partnership and make decisions that affect the business without needing permission from the other partner for each individual transaction.
