Property Ownership

BCan be revoked at any time by the property owner unless it becomes an easement✓ Correct
CAutomatically converts to an easement after 5 years
DRequires compensation to revoke
Explanation
A license is a personal, revocable permission to use another's property. Unlike an easement, it does not 'run with the land' and can be revoked at will unless consideration was paid (which may make it irrevocable for a specified time).
