E: Transfer of a debt owed to the transfer.

The answer is: E

Explanation

The correct option for a permitted transfer of property is indeed:

E: Transfer of a debt owed to the transfer.

Explanation:

Option E, the transfer of a debt owed to the transfer, is typically permitted and is known as an assignment of debt. It is a common legal practice to transfer one's rights to receive a debt or payment from another party to a third party, subject to any contractual or legal restrictions.

The other options (A, B, C, and D) generally involve transfers that may be restricted or prohibited in various legal systems:

A: Transfer of the right to civil pension from the Government - This is usually not permitted, as civil pensions are often non-transferable and subject to specific government regulations.

B: Transfer of easement rights - Easement rights can often be transferred unless there are specific legal restrictions or contractual provisions prohibiting such transfers.

C: Transfer of a right to sue for damages - This is typically not permitted, as it involves the transfer of a personal right of action, which is generally not assignable.

D: Transfer of the right to the salary of a public officer - In many jurisdictions, this is not permitted or is restricted. Public officer salaries are typically not transferable, and any attempt to transfer them may be subject to legal limitations.
