Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

A person who appears to be the owner of property while the real title lies with another is an "ostensible owner"; section 41 of the Transfer of Property Act protects a transferee from him only if the real owner consented, the transfer was for consideration and the transferee took reasonable care and acted in good faith.

A co-owner holds a share in the property, and an equitable owner holds the beneficial interest; neither merely projects himself as owner.
