Non-appropriation makes sense, but what if they just forget to fund it?

I’m torn between A and B; I remember we discussed how these clauses work, but I can’t recall the exact terminology.

I think the answer might be B, non-appropriation clause, because it allows the government to cancel without defaulting.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. I know OPA has something to do with policies, so I'll focus on that.

Ugh, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll have to read through the options carefully to figure out the right approach.
