Property Ownership

A Connecticut grantor conveys property by deed that states 'to my son, but if he ever uses the property for commercial purposes, the property reverts to me.' This is an example of:

AFee simple absolute
BFee simple subject to a condition subsequent✓ Correct
CLife estate
DTenancy by the entirety

Explanation

When a deed conveys property with a condition that, if violated, allows the grantor to reclaim the property, it creates a fee simple subject to a condition subsequent. The grantor retains a right of entry (power of termination).
