Exact Extracts from Salesforce Subscription Management Implementation Guide:

“When multiple assets exist for the same product at different price points, Salesforce applies the FIFO (First In, First Out) strategy to determine which asset(s) to cancel and what price to use for refund calculation.”

“The earliest purchased asset is considered first during partial cancellations or quantity reductions.”

“This ensures financial accuracy based on original transaction pricing rather than averaging or last purchase pricing.”

B: Average pricing is not used by default; FIFO is the standard.

C: LIFO would use the latest purchase, which is not the default method.
