An acquired right to use and enjoy that a person may have on land of another is known as a(n):

devise
easement
lease
riparian right

The correct answer is: devise

The correct term for the acquired right to use and enjoy land that belongs to another person is an easement. An easement grants one individual the legal right to utilize a portion of another's property for a specific purpose, such as access to a road or utility lines. This right is typically permanent and does not alter ownership but rather provides limited usage rights. A devise refers to the transfer of real estate upon a person's death according to their will, while a lease is a contractual arrangement allowing a tenant to occupy property owned by another for a specified time in exchange for rent. Riparian rights pertain specifically to the rights of landowners whose property is adjacent to a body of water, allowing them to use the water in a reasonable manner. Each of these terms relates to property rights in different contexts and does not accurately describe the general right to use someone else's land as an easement does.
