The correct answer is A. Yes.
While it might seem like you would need everyone's permission to sell a piece of shared property, the law allows a single co-owner to transfer their specific "share" or "interest" in that property.
1. The Legal Basis: Section 44 of the TPA
Under Section 44 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, if one of two or more co-owners of immovable property is legally competent to contract, they can transfer their share of the property.
The person who buys that share (the transferee) steps into the shoes of the co-owner and gets:
The right to joint possession or common enjoyment of the property.
The right to enforce a partition (to legally separate their share from the rest).
