BThe entire loan balance becomes due and payable when the property is sold or transferred✓ Correct
CPayments increase automatically when the property is sold
DThe seller is responsible for paying down the mortgage before transferring title

Explanation

A due-on-sale (alienation) clause allows the lender to demand full repayment of the loan when the property is sold or transferred. This prevents unapproved loan assumptions without lender consent.
