What are littoral rights?
Correct Answer
A) Rights of land bordering a lake or the sea
Why this is correct: Littoral rights are a specific property interest tied to land bordering a static body of water like a lake or sea. This is a key concept in waterfront valuation. Why the other choices are wrong: 'Rights to extract minerals beneath a parcel' describes mineral rights. 'Rights to build above an existing structure' refers to air rights. 'Rights to cross a neighbor's land for access' describes an easement. Exam tip: Remember 'littoral' for still water (lakes, oceans) and 'riparian' for flowing water (rivers, streams).
