Which term describes having physical custody or control of an object?

• A. Constructive possession
• B. Actual possession
• C. Omission
• D. Act

Answer: (B)

Actual possession means you actually hold the item or have it immediately available for use. If you’re gripping the object or it’s in your hand or pocket, you have physical custody and can exert control right away—that’s actual possession. The other type, constructive possession, is when you don’t physically hold the item but still have the power to control it, such as items located in a car or a bag that you can access or direct someone else to retrieve. The remaining terms describe actions or failures to act, not possession. So the description given matches actual possession.
