C. (i), (iii) and (iv) are correct.
C. (i), (iii), and (iv) are correct.
To determine which statements are correct definitions of control as an element of possession and holdership, let's break down each statement:
(i) Control need not be comprehensive - This means that control does not necessarily have to extend over every single part of the object. Depending on the nature, size, and use of the object, control may be limited to certain parts or aspects of it.
(ii) Control must be exclusive - This states that only one person can exercise control over an object at any given time. In other words, control cannot be shared or divided among multiple individuals simultaneously.
(iii) Control need not be exercised personally - This indicates that control can be exercised on behalf of the controller by an agent or a lessee. The actual person in control may delegate their control to another individual or entity.
(iv) Control need not be continuous - This means that control does not have to be maintained continuously. It can be interrupted for short periods of time and still be considered control over the object.
Now, let's evaluate the given options:
A. (i) and (ii) are correct - This option is incorrect because it only includes two statements, whereas there are four statements given.
B. (iii) and (iv) are correct - This option is incorrect because it only includes two statements, whereas there are four statements given.
C. (i), (iii), and (iv) are correct - This option is the correct answer as it includes all the statements that are correct definitions of control as an element of possession and holdership.
D. (ii) and (iii) are correct - This option is incorrect because it only includes two statements, whereas there are four statements given.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C. (i), (iii), and (iv) are correct.
