Which term is defined as actual care, custody, control, or management?

• A. Possession
• B. Owner
• C. Public Servant
• D. Official Proceeding

Answer: (A)

Possession describes actual care, custody, control, or management of something. In practice this means you have the item in your immediate control or you have the power to exercise control over it, even if you’re not physically holding it at every moment. Ownership is about the legal rights to possess and use property, which can exist without current, physical control. The other terms refer to a role or a process rather than how something is held, so they don’t define how property is actually controlled.
