BThe right to enter another's land and remove a natural resource, such as timber or minerals✓ Correct
CThe right to build a fence on the property line
DThe right to view a neighbor's property from a specified viewpoint
Explanation
A profit à prendre is a right to enter another's land and extract natural resources — timber, minerals, oil, game, fish. Unlike an easement (right to use land), a profit involves removing something from the land. In Oregon, timber cutting rights and mineral extraction rights may be structured as profits à prendre, which are separate from surface ownership.
