A lot-and-block legal description identifies land within a recorded subdivision plat, referencing a specific lot number, block number, map book, and page filed with the county recorder. It's the most common method for urban and suburban properties in Maryland.
Choices B and D represent metes-and-bounds and rectangular survey systems, respectively; A is simply a street address.

I keep mixing up the terms. Is it possible that A could also be a lot-and-block description? I feel like I need to double-check that.

I practiced a question like this before, and I think lot-and-block descriptions usually reference a plat map. So, C seems like the right choice.
