A Correct answer
Explanation

This is based on an ancient royal prerogative where all unmarked mute swans in open water in England and Wales are technically owned by the Crown. This tradition dates back to the 12th century when swans were considered a delicacy for royal banquets. The Queen (or King) maintains this symbolic ownership to this day.
