Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 6 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 enumerates exceptions to the general rule that property of any kind may be transferred: (1) under Section 6(c), an easement cannot be transferred apart from the dominant heritage; (2) under Section 6(e), a mere right to sue cannot be transferred; and (3) under Section 6(f), a public office cannot be transferred, nor can the salary of a public officer, whether before or after it has become payable. Since all three propositions are prohibited under Section 6, 'None of the given options is correct' is the right answer.
