Employment-at-will allows employers to discharge employees for any reason at any time subject to contract obligations. However, some states have created limited exceptions to this rule that recognize public policy limitations on the employer's right to fire an employee. So, option D is the correct answer. Option A and E only reflect the employee's right to quit, and option B is only the employer's right to fire without any exception.
