A) Termination for convenience
A201 includes Owner termination for convenience.
Why This Is the Correct Answer

Submittal rejection skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for the contract control.
Option C: Bid modification
Bid modification skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for the contract control.
Option D: Subcontract progress payment
Subcontract progress payment skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for the contract control.
Memory Technique
When includes clashes with owner, let the contract speak before Owner Cancels.
Reference Hint
Open-book path: tab AIA A201-2017 to Article 14 Section 14.4 Termination by the Owner for Convenience; match the role, instrument, notice point, and timing before selecting.
