BThe broker breaches their duties (fails to perform, engages in misconduct), justifying the seller's termination for cause✓ Correct
CThe property decreases in value during the listing period

Explanation
A seller can generally terminate a listing agreement for the broker's material breach of duty. However, simply changing their mind about selling does not relieve the seller of their contractual obligations — they may owe a commission if the broker has performed.
