Question

Answer choices
- A. Identify subdivision map references as legal descriptions.
- B. It shifts all responsibility to escrow and eliminates the broker’s duties.
- C. It makes oral promises enforceable in every real estate transaction.
- D. It is optional whenever both parties verbally agree to proceed.
Correct Answer
A. Identify subdivision map references as legal descriptions.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because lot and block descriptions requires candidates to identify subdivision map references as legal descriptions. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
