Why This Is the Correct Answer
A change order documents the agreed change in scope and any adjustment to contract sum and contract time. Other choices leave out core contract effects or substitute field records for a contract modification.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Base the change order response on the subcontractor's labor rate
In procurement and contracting, Only the subcontractor's labor rate is the wrong selection for Change order: it leaves the work at an informal or incomplete stage, while Change order requires The agreed change in work, contract sum, and contract time as applicable.
Option B: Base the change order response on a drawing revision number only
The trap in B is Only a drawing revision number. That selection is wrong because the option delays or omits the controlling step.
Option C: Limit change order to the superintendent's daily report only
Choice C gives Only the superintendent's daily report. Its specific error: the action skips the timing, documentation, or field-control step needed for Change order.
Memory Technique
