In this context, an "estate" refers to extensive property or land.
extensive property or land: An "estate" has a few meanings in English. In the context of this article, the author is referring to the "land" or "property" owned by Harold Warbuckle. When referring to "property" as an "estate", we are usually indicating a large piece of property or land, and not simply a small home or apartment.
Warbuckle's financial assets: It is true that in a different context, "an estate" can refer to "assets", which include money, investments, liabilities and more. For example: Upon my father's death, I inherited his estate, which included 3 homes and numerous cars. In this context, however, an estate is a physical property or area.
a place of business: An "estate" is not a place of business.
a park protected by the local or national government: An "estate" is not national park or wildlife preserve.

This choice is incorrect. The term "estate" has several meanings. In the dialogue, it is used to simply refer to the sum of one's "property" or "possessions". An "estate" can also describe a large area of private property in the country, or a large area of property development, such as a "housing estate", made up of many flats.
This is the best choice. An "inheritance" refers to property or money which is passed to family members on the death of their owner. To "inherit (money)" is to receive or acquire it after the death of a relative. Brian says he's going to "inherit" his grandfather's estate - he's going to receive his dead grandfather's money, material possessions and property.
This choice is incorrect. An "heir" refers to someone who receives money or property from a dead relative. Brian is the "heir" to his grandfather's "estate".
This choice is incorrect. Although similar in meaning to "inheritance", the term "heritage" is usually used to describe property (or culture) that is transferred from one generation to the next. Example: Our churches and buildings should be preserved as part of our national heritage.
