BA deed where the grantor warrants that they have good title and will defend the buyer against all title claims✓ Correct
CA deed limited to the grantor's own period of ownership
DA deed used only for commercial transactions
Explanation
A warranty deed (general warranty deed) contains the grantor's covenant to warrant and defend the title against all claims — including those arising before the grantor's ownership. This is the strongest form of deed. Idaho also uses the 'grant deed,' which implies warranties by operation of law.
