AProvide reasonable notice to the client
BTransfer any relevant files and information to the client
CReveal confidential information about the client to potential future agents✓ Correct
DEnsure the client is not left without time to find alternative representation
Explanation
Even after an agency relationship terminates, the agent's duty of confidentiality survives termination. The agent should not reveal confidential information about the client to others, including potential future agents or the other party in the transaction. Other duties (loyalty, accounting) also survive in the sense that the agent cannot act against the former client's interests.
