BCovenants covering all prior owners in the chain of titleCorrect
COnly covenants covering the period of the grantor's ownership
DNo covenants; it transfers title only

Why Covenants covering all prior owners in the chain of title Is Correct

Answer B: Covenants covering all prior owners in the chain of title

A general warranty deed contains the strongest covenants, including promises to defend title against claims from all prior owners — not just the current grantor's period of ownership.

Exam Tip: Escrow & Title

Escrow questions test the neutral third-party role and the sequence of closing events. Remember that the escrow agent acts as a dual agent for both buyer and seller and cannot advocate for either side.
