You're correct! The main conflict in the short story "A&P" by John Updike is triggered when the grocery store clerk, named Sammy, decides to rebel against a store policy. To arrive at this answer, you can look at the plot and the events that lead to the central conflict.

In the story, three girls enter the grocery store wearing only bathing suits. Sammy, who is working as a cashier, becomes distracted by their presence and starts to observe their behavior. His fascination with the girls and his admiration of their nonconformity prompt him to take a stand against the store's policy. As the store manager confronts the girls about their attire, Sammy impulsively quits his job in protest, believing that it is unfair to embarrass the girls for expressing themselves.

Therefore, the correct answer is "A clerk decides to rebel against a grocery store policy."
