Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Trespass to land occurs when a person intentionally enters someone else's property without permission or causes an object to do so. In option C, throwing a tire into the neighbor's pool is an intentional act that results in an object (the tire) entering the neighbor's property without permission, constituting trespass. Options A and B involve accidents and lack of intent, D involves permission from the owner, and E also involves actions taken with the owner's consent, thus not constituting trespass.
