Which term means 'acquisition of title by taking possession of personal property that belongs to no one else'?

• A. Imply
• B. Occupancy
• C. Habitability
• D. Solicit

Answer: (B)

The term describes gaining ownership of unowned personal property by taking possession and using it as your own. In property law, occupancy is the act of asserting control over something that has no current owner, with the intent to possess it and treat it as yours. This is why occupancy is the best choice here: it directly refers to acquiring title through possession of unowned personal property.

Imply means to suggest or indicate something indirectly, which isn’t about ownership. Habitability deals with whether a property is suitable to live in, not how ownership of unowned items is acquired. Solicit means to request or seek something, which again isn’t related to acquiring ownership through possession.
