- C. It applies only to commercial property and never to residential transactions.
- D. It is controlled only by local custom rather than by law, contract, or professional duty.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize unauthorized use of client funds as a serious violation.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because conversion requires candidates to recognize unauthorized use of client funds as a serious violation. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
