Which of the following is not a major case state?

• A. Open
• B. Rejected
• C. Proposed
• D. Cancelled

Answer: (A)

The idea here is about which statuses are considered key milestones in the case lifecycle. Major case states are the outcomes or decision points that show where a case stands in terms of approval, progress, or termination. Proposed, Rejected, and Cancelled all represent distinct, decision-driven points in the workflow: something has been suggested and is under consideration, something has been rejected, or the case has been terminated. Open, by contrast, is simply the starting point—a newly created case awaiting assignment and action. It doesn’t reflect a substantive outcome or decision in the lifecycle, so it isn’t treated as a major state.
