Which of the following describes a servient tenement regarding easements?

The description of a servient tenement is accurately captured by the concept that it refers to the estate that holds the easement. In the context of easements, the servient tenement is the property that is burdened by the easement, meaning it allows another party (the dominant tenement) to use a specific part of the property for a designated purpose.

It is important to understand that the servient tenement does not own the easement itself but instead is subject to its effects as it grants certain rights to the neighboring property owner.

The dominant estate, as mentioned in one of the choices, refers specifically to the property that benefits from the easement, not the one holding it. Furthermore, the notion of a property having no easements would not apply to a servient tenement, as it inherently represents a property that is subject to an easement.
