Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 51 gives qualified rights to a transferee who improves immovable property in good faith believing himself absolutely entitled, and is later evicted by someone with a better title. He can require the evictor either to pay or secure the improvement value, assessed at eviction, or to sell the evictor’s interest at market value without the improvements. Compensation is therefore conditional, not an automatic right of every transferee.
