AMerger of the dominant and servient estates under the same ownership
BWritten release by the dominant estate owner recorded in the public record
CPhysical obstruction placed by the servient estate owner without the dominant owner's consent (in most cases this does not extinguish but may give rise to legal action)✓ Correct
DAbandonment by the dominant estate owner
Explanation
An easement can be extinguished by merger, written release, abandonment (clear intent to abandon plus physical act), or necessity ceasing (for necessity easements). A servient estate owner unilaterally obstructing use does NOT extinguish the easement — it may constitute a trespass or nuisance.
