Question and options
Possession leads to an inference of
- Right
- Liability
- Ownership
- Property
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Ownership
Possession is prima facie evidence of ownership: the law presumes that the person in possession is the owner until the contrary is proved. Possession does not by itself establish a liability, and 'right' and 'property' are wider ideas than the specific inference the law draws.
