Real property refers to what?

• A. The land and improvements on it plus the set of rights associated with ownership.
• B. Fixtures attached to the land.
• C. The land itself only.
• D. Personal property.

Answer: (C)

Real property is the land and the things permanently attached to it, along with the ownership rights tied to that land. The key idea is that real property is immovable, in contrast to personal property, which is movable. In this question the best match is the land itself because it centers on the fundamental, non-movable subject of real property—the physical land. The other options either describe only fixtures (which are part of real property but not the whole), identify personal property (movable items), or combine land with improvements and rights in a way that goes beyond the single focus of this item.
