Correct Answer:
B. Allottee + successors
This question defines the term “Tenant” within the context of land law.
- Correct Option B: Allottee + successors is accurate. In legal and administrative contexts concerning land, the definition of a 'tenant' often extends beyond the original person to whom the land was allotted. It typically includes their legal heirs or successors, ensuring continuity of rights and obligations associated with the tenancy.
- Distractors A (Only original allottee), C (Only those who paid dues), and D (Only residents) are incorrect. Option A is too restrictive. Options C and D describe characteristics or requirements of a tenant but do not encompass the full legal definition, which includes the transferability of tenancy rights to successors.
