Final answer:

An easement like the one Jane has to drive across Jim's road could be terminated by mutual agreement, death of either party if it is a personal easement, or abandonment. The correct answer is 'All of the Above'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jane has an easement to drive across Jim's road. This easement could be terminated in several ways: a. Mutual Agreement, meaning both parties agree to end it; b. Death of Either Party, although generally, easements are attached to the property, not the individual, so death does not usually terminate an easement unless it is a personal easement; and c.

Abandonment, where Jane would have to demonstrate by her actions that she no longer claims the easement, and it must be for a significant period. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is d. All of the Above, as all these factors can lead to the termination of an easement, depending on jurisdiction and the specific terms of the easement agreement.
