Correct The rule of capture does not allow the rights of a finder to be superior to the right of the original owner. A finder has a legal responsibility to try to return lost property. The finder's rights, though they are superior to the rights of other people, are not superior to the rights of the original owner of the lost property. Therefore B is the correct answer.

Correct A domesticated animal that routinely returns to its owner has the same rules as any other personal property. If it gets lost and then found by a different person, the finder must return it to its original owner. Only wild animals that do not generally return to their owners can be kept by a finder when they escape from their owners. Therefore A is the correct answer.
