Which of the following are valid contract states during a contract’s lifecycle? (Choose four.)

The contract lifecycle in ServiceNow is managed through a series of states. A contract begins in the 'Draft' state while it is being created and reviewed. Once finalized and in effect, it moves to the 'Active' state. If it is terminated before its end date, it becomes 'Canceled'. If it reaches its end date and is not renewed or extended, its state changes to 'Expired'. These four states represent the primary stages of a standard contract's lifecycle within the platform.

C. Renewed: Renewal is an action performed on a contract, often resulting in a new contract or an updated 'Active' one. It is not a state itself.
D. Extended: Extension is an action that modifies the end date of an 'Active' contract. The contract remains in the 'Active' state, not an 'Extended' state.
F. Renegotiated: Renegotiation is a business process or an action that occurs while a contract is in a state like 'Draft' or 'Active'. It is not a distinct state.
