A) Shandon's purchase of Blackacre cannot possibly be valid unless Salome has paid $100 000 to Prem.
B) If Salome has not yet paid $100 000 to Prem, and if Prem filed a writ of execution with the sheriff's office before the date of the purported sale, then Shandon's purchase of Blackacre cannot possibly be valid.
C) Prem can use a vendor's lien to force the sale of Blackacre if he does not receive $100 000 from Salome within 24 months from the date of judgment in the nuisance action.
D) Prem can use a vendor's lien to force the sale of Blackacre if he does not receive $100 000 from Salome within 12 months from the date of judgment in the nuisance action.
E) Shandon did nothing wrong and Prem does not have a registered interest on title.Nevertheless, if Blackacre is located in a jurisdiction that recognizes writs of execution as interests in land, then Shandon may lose Blackacre if he refuses to pay $100 000 to Prem.
