C.take notice of D.take the position of

Answer

A

【解析】

考查动词短语辨析。句意：我很抱歉地通知你，在合同签署之前，你不能合法地拥有这笔财产。A. take possession of拥有；B. take the place of代替；C. take notice of注意到；D. take the position of拥有，是指某物被拥有。题干中指的是“在合同签署之前，你不能合法地拥有这笔财产”结合句意。take possession of是指某人拥有某物， take the position of某物被某人拥有。结合句意。故选A。
