(c) Yes, Adams still has the easement

Explanation:

An easement doesn't expire through non use. An easement is a restricted right to utilize the land of some individual for an intended purpose. easements only expire by agreement, abandonment, merger and necessity.

Abandonment: The easement is deserted when the bearer of the easement takes serious action to indefinitely abandon the easement. When the easement isn't in use it does not count as abandoning.
