Correct Answer
A. Fixtures on propertyExplanation
Fixtures on property are included in the definition of real estate but not in the definition of land. Real estate refers to the physical property and all the improvements attached to it, including fixtures. Fixtures are items that are permanently attached to the property, such as built-in appliances or lighting fixtures. On the other hand, land refers specifically to the surface area of the earth, excluding any improvements or attachments. Therefore, fixtures on property are considered part of real estate but not part of the definition of land.Rate this question:
