I think it's B) only the comparable properties. Makes sense to adjust them.

I feel like C) the property being appraised could work too. Adjusting the subject helps.

I’m confused; I thought we only adjusted the subject property in some cases, but that doesn’t seem to fit here.

I feel like the adjustments are meant to make the comparables more like the subject, so it must be just the comparables, right?

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think it was about adjusting both properties, but that seems a bit off now.

I think we only adjust the comparable properties, but I'm not entirely sure if we ever touch the subject property itself.
