An "abstract of title" is a legal document that summarizes the history of ownership of a property, including the original grant and all subsequent conveyances and encumbrances. This document is used to determine the current ownership and legal standing of the property. Option B, a detailed map of the property, would not be included in an abstract of title. Option C, an inspection report of the property's physical condition, is not relevant to the title of the property. Option D, the future value of the property based on market trends, is not a part of the history of ownership and therefore would not be included in an abstract of title.
