A

air rights.

Correct Answer
B

the bundle of rights.

The bundle of rights is a broader concept encompassing all ownership rights (use, possession, exclusion, disposition, enjoyment) and is not limited to the space above the ground.

C

solar rights.

Solar rights concern access to sunlight for solar energy or light, not the general right to use vertical space above the land.

D

riparian rights.

Riparian rights govern the use of water from a watercourse adjoining the land and are unrelated to vertical space above the property.

Why is this correct?

Air rights are the legal rights to use, control, and develop the space above a parcel of land within the vertical planes extending upward from the property's boundaries. They are a recognized component of real property ownership and may be sold, leased, or transferred independently of the surface estate.
