    D) eminent domain.

    Explanation:

    In the US, eminent domain is the right of a government entity (local, state or federal government) to take private land and assign a public use to it. This government expropriation is carried out with a compensation payment done to the landowner.

    In this case, the municipal government of Orlando is going to expropriate Neil's land and use it to expand a thoroughfare (road or avenue) through the city. The city will pay Neil a certain amount of money for taking away his land and suing it for a public service.

    The 5th amendment of the US Constitution states that eminent domain must be carried out only after the landowner has been compensated for his/her loss.
