Estoppel is a legal principle that prevents a person from denying or asserting a fact that is contrary to what they have previously stated or done. It is based on the idea that it is unfair for a person to change their position to the detriment of another person who has relied on their previous statements or actions. Therefore, the correct answer is A) Estoppel. The other options, B) Jus cogens, C) Servitude, and D) Charter, do not relate to the principle of estoppel.
