What is a 'due-on-sale' clause in a mortgage?

AA clause requiring the seller to pay off the loan at closing, consistent with conventional financing terms
BA clause allowing the lender to demand full loan repayment if the property is transferred without lender consentCorrect
CA clause reducing the interest rate when the property is sold, per standard amortization and lending convention
DA clause requiring PMI until the property is sold, under standard California mortgage lending practice

Why A clause allowing the lender to demand full loan repayment if the property is transferred without lender consent Is Correct

Answer B: A clause allowing the lender to demand full loan repayment if the property is transferred without lender consent

A due-on-sale (acceleration) clause gives the lender the right to demand full repayment of the loan balance when the property is sold or transferred without the lender's approval. This prevents buyers from assuming loans without lender consent.
