Property Ownership (alternative)

BThe grantee violates the specified condition AND the grantor exercises their right of re-entry✓ Correct
CThe property value declines

Explanation
Unlike a fee simple determinable (which reverts automatically), a fee simple subject to a condition subsequent requires the grantor to actively exercise their right of re-entry (power of termination) after a breach.
