4. D. It is optional whenever both parties verbally agree to proceed.

Correct Answer

B. Identify that an appurtenant easement benefits one parcel and burdens another.

The correct answer is B because easements appurtenant requires candidates to identify that an appurtenant easement benefits one parcel and burdens another.
