How is a commercial acre best defined?

  1. Total area available for construction

  2. Portion of an acre used for agricultural purposes

  3. Portion of an acre remaining after subtracting the area necessary for public improvements

  4. An acre of land in a commercial zone

The correct answer is: Portion of an acre remaining after subtracting the area necessary for public improvements

A is not the best definition because it doesn't specify that it applies specifically to commercial use and does not take into account any potential public improvements. B is incorrect because it limits the definition to only agricultural purposes and does not consider the use of the acre for commercial purposes. D is incorrect because it does not specify what defines a commercial zone and can also be interpreted as applying to any type of land within that zone, not just an acre. Option C is the best definition because it takes into consideration any public improvements and leaves the remaining portion of the acre specifically for commercial use.
