Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 52 continues pendency beyond the trial decree until final disposal and satisfaction or discharge as specified in its explanation. A transfer in the interval before an appeal is filed can therefore be subject to lis pendens. The suit must be non-collusive and directly concern immovable property; property being outside a court’s ordinary territorial limits alone does not establish that the required competent jurisdiction exists.
