BThe appraiser increasing the comparable's adjusted sale price to account for the garage the subject has but the comparable lacks✓ Correct
CThe appraiser penalizing the seller
DThe appraiser adjusting the subject's value downward
Explanation
In the sales comparison approach, if the comparable lacks a feature (like a garage) that the subject has, the appraiser adds value to the comparable to make it equivalent to the subject. The adjustment is always to the comparable, not the subject.
