C is incorrect because tenancy by the entirety is not available to all co-owners. It has specific eligibility requirements that limit it to married couples, distinguishing it from other forms of co-ownership like tenancy in common.
Requires court approval
D is incorrect because tenancy by the entirety does not require court approval. It can be created by married couples when acquiring property together, without needing judicial intervention.
