A license applicant is studying a California practice scenario involving conversion. What should a California real estate licensee understand? (Item 100)
Answer choices
- A. It applies only to commercial property and never to residential transactions.
- B. It is controlled only by local custom rather than by law, contract, or professional duty.
- C. It is valid only when the buyer pays cash and no lender is involved.
- D. Recognize unauthorized use of client funds as a serious violation.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize unauthorized use of client funds as a serious violation.
Explanation
The correct answer is D 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.
