D is correct because in cases where co-owners of property cannot agree on the disposition of the property, one or more of the co-owners can seek a partition action in court. This legal action can result in the court ordering the sale of the property and division of the proceeds among the co-owners, even if one or more co-owners do not consent to the sale.
