Final answer:

The implied covenants in a grant deed, which are personal to the original seller and buyer, may only be enforced by those two parties. Future owners, the government, and attorneys do not hold the right to enforce these personal covenants.

Step-by-step explanation:

The implied covenants in a grant deed may only be enforced by c) The seller and buyer of the property. Future owners, the government, and attorneys do not have enforcement rights based on personal covenants between the original seller and buyer.

When a property is sold, a grant deed may contain implied covenants, which are promises from the seller to the buyer about the condition and title of the property. These covenants are considered personal and are made specifically between the seller and buyer at the time of the transaction. They serve to protect the buyer by ensuring that the title is free of undisclosed encumbrances and other potential issues that could affect the buyer's use and enjoyment of the property. Should a covenant be breached, the injured party may seek legal recourse to enforce the terms of the grant deed.

As these covenants are inherently personal to the two original parties involved in the deal, it is these individuals who possess the legal standing to enforce them. Future owners are not the intended beneficiaries of these covenants, nor does the government or attorneys not representing the original transacting parties have a direct role in enforcement, as the covenants are not public regulations or laws but private agreements.
