Which type of deed offers the grantee the greatest protection by including full covenants such as the warranty of seisin and the covenant of quiet enjoyment covering the property's entire history?

• a.Quitclaim deed
• b.General warranty deed✓
• c.Bargain and sale deed
• d.Special warranty deed

A general warranty deed provides the broadest protection because the grantor warrants title against all defects arising at any time, even before the grantor owned the property. A special warranty deed only covers the grantor's own period of ownership. A quitclaim deed conveys whatever interest the grantor has with no warranties at all.
