Where to look it up
Explicit exercise assumptions; not a universal code requirement.
Why C is correct
Obtain written authorization from the person empowered under the contract, documenting the added scope and agreed cost and schedule treatment. Follow any required notice procedure. A verbal request or an assumption of later payment does not satisfy the stated approval condition.
