Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Real property refers to land and anything permanently attached to it, including buildings, structures, and fixed machinery or equipment. This includes:

Land -- Natural terrain, lots, plots.

Buildings -- Homes, commercial offices, industrial spaces.

Fixed Equipment -- Machinery installed as part of the property (e.g., HVAC systems, elevators).

In contrast, personal property (Option A & D) includes movable items like furniture and appliances, while undeveloped land (Option B) does not account for infrastructure.
