APersonal property the tenant may take
BA fixture belonging to the landlord✓ Correct
CShared property between tenant and landlord
DProperty of the Iowa Real Estate Commission

Explanation

Once attached permanently to the real property (the ceiling), the ceiling fan becomes a fixture. Trade fixtures (used for business purposes) may be removed; residential fixtures generally stay with the property.
