Property Valuation
An appraiser performing a sales comparison approach makes a positive adjustment to a comparable sale when:

BThe comparable is inferior to the subject in a given feature, so value is added to bring it up to the subject✓ Correct
CThe comparable sold more recently than the subject
DThe comparable is located in a better neighborhood
Explanation
In the sales comparison approach, adjustments are made to the comparable (not the subject). A positive adjustment is made when the comparable is inferior to the subject — value is added to the comparable's price to estimate what the subject is worth.
