Property Ownership

In South Dakota, 'cooperative housing' (co-op) ownership differs from condominium ownership in that:

BCo-op owners hold shares in a corporation that owns the building, and their shares grant them the right to occupy a specific unit under a proprietary lease✓ Correct
CCo-ops have no homeowners association
DCondominiums are only available for residential use

Explanation

In a cooperative, residents do not own their individual unit directly. Instead, they own shares in the cooperative corporation that holds title to the entire building, and their shares give them the right to occupy a specific unit under a proprietary lease.
