    Assets more likely to be considered marital property rather than separate property are neither as

    d. All of the above are likely to be considered marital assets.

    Explanation:

    The given list of property can rightfully be claimed by either of the partners as they were using it during the marriage. While the recompense given to Adam for his injury is his to use, he is unable to work anymore so this puts a strain on his own medial expenses which would be covered by his wife or the money he gets so that property can be covered.

    Inherited property is usually considered the joint property of the couple depending on which state is being talked about here although it extremely unlikely in this particular case.
