Explanation
  1. The concept of ownership is one of the fundamental juristic concepts common to all systems of law. Ownership is a socially significant concept because it is an index of wealth and social position. Property like other interests has a social obligation to perform. The extent of this social obligation reflects the social policy of the legal system. The right of alienation of property is a necessary incident to the right of ownership, but there are many restrictions with regard to the alienation of property today. Thus, A is true and R is false.
    1. Statement A is true and R is false thus R cannot be the explanation of A.

    3. Ownership being a legal concept or juridical concept also leads to social ideas related to the wealth of the people and for this social policy is to be followed by them.
