Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
The first paragraph of s.19C says that where the full fee has been paid on a grant covering the whole property of an estate, "no fee shall be chargeable" when a like grant is made for the whole or any part of the same property. A later grant is allowed, and the fee already paid is neither refunded nor halved.
