Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The situation described is confusion, as the commingling of the oil means that Nero's oil and Olav's oil cannot be distinguished from one another. Accession typically refers to the acquisition of new property by adding value or combining with existing property, conversion refers to a change in the form or nature of property, and irresolution refers to a situation where there is uncertainty or indecision about a legal matter. None of these options accurately describe the situation presented in the question.
