What does an abstract of title provide?

  1. A statement of title's current status

  2. Warranty of ownership

  3. History of the parcel's ownership

  4. A policy against title defects

The correct answer is: History of the parcel's ownership

An abstract of title provides a detailed history of ownership for a particular parcel of land. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not fully encompass the information provided in an abstract of title. Option A may refer to the current status of the title, but it does not provide the detailed history that an abstract of title does. Option B mentions warranty of ownership which is a separate document from an abstract of title. And option D mentions a policy against title defects which is also a separate document. Therefore, option C is the most accurate description of what an abstract of title provides.
