The right option is; enforces
The government defines, establishes, and enforces property rights.
Property rights is the lawful ownership of certain property by individuals or organizations and the ability to decide how the property is utilized. The government establishes and enforces property rights by using an organized system for keeping records and disclosure that inform the public of those rights. In many countries, such as the United States, people usually exert private property rights (the permission to delegate, gather, hold, sell or lease their property).
