Question: 1 / 400

How does "accretion" affect property?

It results in the compulsory abandonment of land.

It refers to the increase or addition to land by natural deposits of sand or soil from bodies of water.

"Accretion" refers to the natural increase or addition of land due to natural deposits of sand or soil from bodies of water. This process can happen over a period of time, slowly building up the land. Option B is therefore the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect because accretion does not result in the compulsory abandonment of land, rather it adds to and increases the size of land.

Option C is incorrect because accretion does not refer to the rapid depreciation of property, but rather the natural addition of land.

Option D is incorrect because while accretion does merge two parcels of land, it does so naturally through the addition of new land, not through a legal process.
