Break Up/ Call Off

Everyone in the committee was sad to see such a successful organizattion break up/call off over such a trivial affair. I'm confused but I think break up is correct answer?

"call off" does not make sense there. "break up" makes sense. I would say "on the committee" rather than "in the committee".
