Which of the following can terminate an easement?

Explanation:
An easement can end in several ways. Estoppel occurs when the owner of the dominant estate acts in a way that leads the servient owner to believe the easement won’t be enforced, and the servient owner relies on that belief, preventing later enforcement. When the easement was granted because the property was landlocked, its necessity can cease (for example, if alternative access appears), so the easement terminates. If the servient tenement is destroyed, there is no land to use through the easement, so the easement ends. Since each of these scenarios can terminate an easement, all of the above is correct.
