Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

A license is a personal, revocable privilege to use another's land for a specific purpose (e.g., permission to fish in a pond). It can be canceled by the issuer at any time and does not run with the land.

An easement is a legal interest in another's land for a specific purpose (e.g., utility easement). It is not revocable by the grantor once legally granted.

Consideration is not required for a license or an easement (though it may be part of a contractual easement).

Thus, the main difference is that a license is revocable by the issuer, but an easement is not.

I practiced a question like this, and I think option A is correct because licenses are usually revocable.

I remember something about consideration being necessary for easements, but I can't recall if it's the same for licenses.

I think a license can be revoked, but I'm not entirely sure if easements can be cancelled too.
