In the Revised Statutes numbering, which term denotes the fourth element?

• A. Title
• B. Chapter
• C. Section
• D. Subsection

Answer: (D)

The numbering is organized in a four-level hierarchy: Title contains Chapters, which contain Sections, and those Sections are further divided into Subsections. Since the question asks for the term that denotes the fourth element, Subsection is the correct choice because it sits under a Section. Subsections provide the precise subdivisions within a Section, often labeled with letters or parentheses, allowing specific provisions to be cited. The other terms correspond to higher levels: Title is the broad collection, Chapter groups topics within a Title, and Section is the main division within a Chapter.
