Explanation:

A variable investment has returns that change based on market conditions. The land's value depends on real estate market fluctuations, meaning its returns are not fixed. The correct option aligns with this definition, while others are incorrect: the land is affected by markets, does not offer fixed income, and does not guarantee principal return.

Answer:

Yes, because it has variable returns.
