Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under Muslim law hiba is the immediate and unqualified transfer of the corpus of property without return, a gift of immovable property may be made orally without a written document, and a gift of a life interest is valid, giving "A, B and C only". A life interest is not enlarged into an absolute estate, so that statement is incorrect.
