Answer 1

A. The man and the remaining woman will be tenants in common

Step-by-step explanation:

When two or more people have ownership of common property, they are termed to be joint tenants. The ownership is shared by each of the persons. Also, they lie a joint right to all the members to either keep or dispose of the property. This is a legal agreement among the members under which they share equal rights and responsibilities.

Tenancy in common is an option that provides percentage-based ownership. This provision helps in trading the property as per the choice of any of the owners.

As per the given excerpt, the true sentence is that the man and the remaining woman are tenants in common of the property.
