BA month-to-month tenancy if the landlord accepts continued rent payments
CEither A or B depending on the landlord's response to the holdover✓ Correct
DAn automatic 1-year renewal by Iowa law

Explanation

When a fixed-term lease expires and the tenant holds over, the landlord's response determines the outcome: accepting rent payments creates a month-to-month tenancy; refusing to accept and treating the tenant as a trespasser creates a tenancy at sufferance.
