BA long-term lease of land only, with the tenant constructing and owning improvements✓ Correct

Explanation

A ground lease is a long-term lease (often 50–99 years) of land only. The tenant (ground lessee) constructs and owns improvements during the lease term. At lease end, improvements typically revert to the landowner. Ground leases are common in commercial development and allow landowners to retain ownership while generating income.
