In North Carolina, a quitclaim deed:

Option A describes a general warranty deed, not a quitclaim deed — a general warranty deed contains covenants where the grantor warrants title against all claims, both before and during the grantor's ownership, which is the opposite of what a quitclaim deed provides.

Option C is entirely false — North Carolina fully recognizes quitclaim deeds as valid instruments of conveyance, and they are commonly used in the state for intra-family transfers, divorce settlements, and title-clearing purposes.

Option D is incorrect because quitclaim deeds in North Carolina do not require court approval; they are private instruments executed by the grantor and recorded with the county Register of Deeds like any other deed, without judicial oversight.
