Which of the following statements is true? a. the law requires a home inspection prior to every property transaction. b. most home inspection requests come from real estate professionals. c. more home inspections are performed for relocation companies than for any other type of client. d. the same person should perform both the home inspection and the property appraisal.

The correct option is A.
Home inspection refers to the examination of the condition of a home prior to buying. Home inspections are usually conducted by professional home inspectors who had been trained on that field. The law demands that a property should be inspected prior to buying and selling of that property. Home inspection is done purposely to identify any problem that might be associated with the property.

The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (gdp) and other macroeconomic variables. a business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time. economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. the duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length. some business analysts use the business cycle model and terminology to study and explain fluctuations in business inventory and other individual elements of corporate operations. but the term "business cycle" is still primarily associated with larger (industry-wide, regional, national, or even international) business trends.
