As Caitlin will not want the money for the next 5 years, she must opt for the automatic renewal option.

This option will keep her free mind as it will automatically renew the CD and will again start for the intended time period.

Withdrawal cannot be the option as its stated she does not need the money now. Termination cannot be the answer as it will stop the CD and she will get the matured amount only.
