Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 18 exempts qualifying public-benefit transfers from specified perpetuity and accumulation restrictions. Section 20 deals with vesting on birth unless the transfer shows a contrary intention. Section 41 deals with transfers by ostensible owners and section 44 with transfers by co-owners.

Option feedback

Option A

The owner and co-owner topics are correctly assigned, but sections 18 and 20 are interchanged.

Option B

The public-benefit exception, unborn beneficiary, ostensible ownership and co-owner rules correspond to sections 18, 20, 41 and 44.

Option C

The co-owner mapping is right. The first three topics do not match those sections.

Option D

Section 41 concerns an ostensible owner, section 18 a public-benefit perpetuity, section 44 a co-owner and section 20 an unborn beneficiary. The pairing reverses those subjects.
