Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: Use field substitution after delivery

Use field substitution after delivery skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for submittal substitution.

Option B: Use installer verbal approval only

Use installer verbal approval only skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for submittal substitution.

Option D: Field method: Use use similar product without review
