According to the concept of private property, “all forms of property are capable of being owned by individuals or by groups functioning legally as individuals.” In addition, ownership is “based on a philosophy that encourages the right of owners to use their property as they see fit without outside interference.” So a property owner is an individual or group who has the right to use their property without outside interference.
a
one who possesses █ ████ ██ ████ ██ ████████████ ███ ██ ███ ██████ ██ ████████ █████████
The concept of property ownership does not require a property owner to have a bill of sale. Bills of sale are mentioned as one kind of document that can provide evidence to demonstrate ownership, but this doesn’t imply that the meaning of “property owner” requires one to possess a bill of sale.
b
one who possesses █████ ██ █████ ██████████ ██ ████████████ ███ ██ ███ ██████ ██ ████████ █████████
Although in court a claim to ownership can be demonstrated by proof of prior possession, this doesn’t imply that the meaning of “property owner” requires one to be able to substantiate his or her claim to the property. There’s a difference between what one is required to show to demonstrate ownership and what’s involved in the meaning of ownership.
c
one who is ███████ ██ ████ ███ ██ ███ ██ ███ ████████ ██ ████████ ██████ ██ ██ ███ ██████
This best captures the meaning of ownership under the concept of private property. Private property is based on a philosophy that encourages the rights of owners ot use their property without outside interference.
d
one who is ███████ ██ ████████ █████████ ██████ ██ ███ ██ ███ ████████ ██ █████
Although transferring property to one’s heir is one of the rights a property owner holds under the concept of property, this doesn’t capture the meaning of ownership, which is broader than simply the ability to transfer property to heirs.
e
one who is ███████ ██ ████████ ████████ ██████ ███████ ██ ███ ██ ███ ██████████ ██ █ █████████
(E) is associated with collective property, not private property.
