The state may divert water from one area to another by its

right of first refusal
right of survivorship
right of appropriation
eminent domain

The correct answer is: right of appropriation

A. Right of first refusal refers to the legal right of an entity to have the first opportunity to purchase a property if the owner decides to sell it. This is not related to the diversion of water. B. Right of survivorship is a provision in joint ownership that allows for the remaining party to inherit the full property upon the death of the other. This is not related to the diversion of water. D. Eminent domain is the government's power to take private property for public use, but it does not pertain to the diversion of water. The correct answer, C, is the legal term for the state's right to take water from one area and use it in another area for public benefit, such as for irrigation or drinking water purposes. This helps ensure that water resources are distributed equitably and efficiently.
