Property Ownership
In Minnesota, the 'unity of possession' required for joint tenancy means that:

BAll joint tenants have an equal right to possess the entire property✓ Correct
CThe property must be used for the same purpose by all joint tenants
DAll joint tenants must live in the property simultaneously
Explanation
Unity of possession requires that all joint tenants have an equal, undivided right to possess the entire property—no one tenant owns a specific portion. This is one of the four unities (time, title, interest, possession) required to create a joint tenancy in Minnesota. All co-owners share equal access to the entire property.
