BThe other co-owners have a right to purchase the selling co-owner's interest at the same price and terms before the third-party sale can proceed✓ Correct
CThe third party automatically becomes a co-owner
DThe property must be partitioned before any sale

Explanation

Louisiana Civil Code (Art. 1014) and co-ownership agreements may give co-owners a right of first refusal — allowing them to match a third-party offer and purchase the selling co-owner's interest before the sale to an outsider can be completed.
