Final answer:

Susan may become the owner of the land if she has complied with the law regarding adverse possession. The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Susan may become the owner of the land if she has complied with the law regarding adverse possession.

Adverse possession is a legal concept that allows someone who has occupied and used another person's property without permission for a certain period of time to potentially gain ownership of that property.

In this case, since Susan moved her mobile home onto the land, drilled a well, and lived on the property for 20 years, she may meet the requirements for adverse possession.

Hence, Option B is correct.
