Lizzy · Answer 1

The answer is: B) Adverse possession, but A) Prescription, is also correct

Explanation:

Adverse possession is the process by which a person who does not have legal rights to a certain real estate property (usually land) acquires legal ownership based on continuous occupation of the land without the consent of its legal owner.

Ownership by prescription happens when someone other than the original owner gains legal rights over a certain property under the principles of "adverse possession".
