Alice owns a parcel of land through which Bob has been openly and continuously walking to access the public road for the past 15 years. There is no written agreement between them regarding this path. Recently, Alice has objected to Bob continuing to use the path. Which method of creating an easement would most likely allow Bob to legally continue using the path?
An express grant through a written agreement
A prescriptive easement through continuous use
An implied easement by necessity
An easement by estoppel based on Alice's acquiescence
Bob can establish a prescriptive easement because his use of the path has been open, continuous, and adverse for the statutory period, satisfying the requirements for prescription.
