BA lower-value property in a neighborhood of higher-value properties is pulled upward in value✓ Correct
CA higher-value property in a neighborhood of lower-value properties maintains its value
DProperties appreciate at a fixed annual percentage rate

Explanation

The principle of progression states that a less valuable property benefits from being surrounded by more valuable properties — its value is pulled upward. The opposite (regression) applies when a high-value property is surrounded by lower-value properties, pulling its value down.
