CA fixed-term tenancy for another full year
DA trespass situation requiring immediate eviction

Why A tenancy at will or month-to-month tenancy Is Correct

Answer B: A tenancy at will or month-to-month tenancy

When a fixed-term lease expires and the tenant continues in possession with the landlord's consent, the tenancy becomes a periodic (typically month-to-month) tenancy. Without consent, it would be tenancy at sufferance.
