1. Deok-sun and Taek are girlfriend and boyfriend, respectively. They bought a brand new 2021 Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabriolet convertible car with plate number RPLY 1988. Deok-sun paid the downpayment while Taek undertook to pay the monthly amortization. Since they shared for the price of the car, they agreed, in writing, that they each own half share on the car. Is the ownership of the car divisible or indivisible?

Group of answer choices

a. DIVISIBLE. While the car itself is indivisible, Deok-sun initially owned the car when she paid the downpayment, but it will ultimately be Taek who would own the car once he finishes paying the amortization.

b. INDIVISIBLE. The object of the obligation is an indivisible one. There can be no owner of half the car and another owner of the other half of the car.

c. INDIVISIBLE. The amount of the car is considered one entire amount that pertains to just one particular car. Even if different people paid for the downpayment and the amortization, the price of the car is considered an indivisible amount pertaining to an indivisible car.

d. DIVISIBLE. While the car itself is indivisible, the shares on the ownership of the car is divisible by intellectual division, as agreed upon by the owners.
