AA lease
BA deed of easement✓ Correct
CA license

Explanation

A deed of easement creates a permanent, recorded easement granting the neighbor the right to run the water pipe across the property. It runs with the land and binds future owners, unlike a license (which is revocable) or a lease (which is temporary).
