Owner A has a permanent right across Owner B's land to view the ocean. Owner B may not block that view. What might this be called with respect to Owner A?

Easement
Appurtenance
License
Encroachment

The correct answer is: Appurtenance

An appurtenance refers to a right or privilege attached to a property that may exist independently of the ownership of the property itself. In this scenario, the permanent right to view the ocean is an appurtenance for Owner A because it is a right that is attached to their property (i.e. their land) and exists independently of their ownership. Furthermore, the other options are incorrect because A. Easement refers to a similar concept, but it typically involves the use of someone else's land rather than just viewing something from it. C. A license is a temporary and revocable permission to use someone else's property, which does not apply in this situation as Owner A has a permanent right. D. Encroachment refers to when someone else's property extends onto or over your property, which is not relevant in this scenario.
