Final answer:
The correct term is 'Riparian rights', which allow landowners to use water flowing through their property without altering it or affecting other users negatively.
Step-by-step explanation:
The term for a landowner's rights to use water that flows past his or her property without diverting or polluting it, or impairing its use by others, is D. Riparian rights. These rights ensure that tenure and/or ownership of the land extends to the maintenance of livelihood security and resource access, which includes the use of water bodies along the property. The landowner must also respect the property rights of others, ensuring that their use of the water does not interfere with others' rights or the designated public water supply, agriculture, or navigation. Essentially, riparian rights allow landowners to use the surface runoff water as it naturally occurs without alteration or degradation.
