2. Are offered strictly based on freehold ownership.

3. Generally classified as detached homes.

4. Must contain common elements.

5. Are single-family dwellings but with shared walls.

6. Are only available in urban areas.

The correct answer is: Are normally grouped in sets of three or more units.

Townhouses are best described as residential units that are normally grouped in sets of three or more units. They share walls with neighboring units and have their own separate entrance. This grouping distinguishes townhouses from detached homes. Options B, C, D, E, and F do not accurately describe townhouses. Option B is incorrect because townhouses can be offered as freehold ownership or condominium ownership. Option C is incorrect because townhouses are not generally classified as detached homes. Option D is incorrect because townhouses may or may not contain common elements, depending on whether they are part of a condominium complex. Option E is incorrect because townhouses are not single-family dwellings; they are multi-unit dwellings that share walls. Option F is incorrect because townhouses can be found in both urban and suburban areas.
