Which of the following defines a method for identifying individual lots in a subdivision?

The correct choice is based on the established method used in land development and real estate to uniquely identify individual lots within a subdivision. The "lot, block, and subdivision" system utilizes specific identifiers assigned to each lot within a larger parcel of land that has been divided into multiple sections for development.

In this context, each lot is given a unique number (the lot number), which is tied to a specific block (the block number), and all of this information is related back to the larger subdivision name. This system promotes clarity and precision in identification, making it easier for various stakeholders to refer to specific lots without ambiguity.

Maps and plats help visualize these subdivisions but do not serve as the sole identification method. Legal descriptions provide a detailed narrative about the property, which can include methods like the metes and bounds system, but they may not always be as straightforward in identifying individual lots as the lot-block-subdivision method. The government survey method relates to a broader system used for surveying land but does not directly apply to the identification of individual lots in a subdivision format.
