Ah, I see what you mean. But I don't know, the wording in option C just seems more clear-cut to me. I'd hate to overthink this and end up getting it wrong.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. I think option B might be the way to go. The question states that the compensation is taxable, and the enhanced compensation is exempt, so that seems to fit the criteria.

Agreed. I'm leaning towards option C, since it mentions the land being acquired by the government after March 2004, and that the enhanced compensation is also exempt. But I'm not 100% sure.

Yeah, me neither. But I think the key here is to look at the specific sections of the tax code that are mentioned, like 10(37). That's probably going to be the most important factor in determining the right answer.

Wow, this is a pretty complex question. I'm not sure I fully understand all the nuances of capital gains tax and acquisitions by the government.
