Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angelina's continuous and uninterrupted use of her neighbor's land for accessing the lake over a period of time may establish an easement by prescription, which is a legal right to use someone else's land. This type of easement is created by the operation of the law and does not require the neighbor's permission. Option A is not correct because Angelina is not making a profit by crossing her neighbor's land. Option C is incorrect because a grant easement is one where the owner of a property explicitly grants the right of use to someone else. Option D is not applicable because a license is a revocable permission to use someone else's land, which cannot turn into a permanent easement without the neighbor's consent.
