I’m a bit confused, but I think all the options except B might be legal descriptions. I just can't recall if there are exceptions for certain types of properties.

This question reminds me of a practice quiz where we had to identify legal descriptions. I think A, C, and D all have that specific format.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like addresses like in option B aren't considered legal descriptions. They seem too general.

I think I remember that legal descriptions usually include specific land measurements or boundaries, so maybe option B is the odd one out?
