Explanation

Explanation

When a traditional add-on's parent subscription is canceled, the add-on is immediately canceled alongside it, regardless of any separate expiration date, because traditional add-ons are tightly coupled to their associated base subscription and cannot exist independently. Option A is incorrect because the add-on's own expiration date becomes irrelevant once the parent subscription is gone - that date only matters if the base subscription remains active. Option B is incorrect because traditional add-ons cannot be transferred to other subscriptions; this behavior is specific to standalone add-ons, which are a different type. Option C is incorrect because no manual intervention is required or even possible - the cancellation is automatic and immediate upon the parent subscription's cancellation.

Memory Tip: Think of a traditional add-on as a "parasite" - it cannot survive without its host. The moment the host (base subscription) is canceled, the add-on dies with it. If you want an add-on that can survive on its own, you'd need a standalone add-on instead.
