The word 'dominium' denotes :

  • A.Physical control over a thing
  • B.The absolute right to a thing
  • C.Hohfeldian philosophy of right
  • D.Development of the idea of possession

Answer: B

'Dominium' denotes the absolute right to a thing.

In Roman law dominium was ownership: the fullest right a person could have over a thing, including the rights to use, enjoy and dispose of it. It is the root of the modern concept of ownership.

Physical control over a thing is possessio, possession, which Roman law kept distinct from dominium. Hohfeld's analysis of rights is a modern theory, and 'development of the idea of possession' describes a different concept.
