What does D.U.S.T. mean?

  1. Residential property elements

  2. Commercial property standards

  3. Minerals classification

  4. Real estate's elements of value

The correct answer is: Real estate's elements of value

D.U.S.T. stands for Demand, Utility, Scarcity, and Transferability. These are the four elements that make up the value of real estate. Option A refers to residential properties, but it does not encompass all types of real estate. Option B is too specific and does not cover all the elements of value. Option C is incorrect as MINERAL is a separate and distinct area of property law. Only option D captures the full meaning of D.U.S.T. in the context of real estate.
