The correct answer is evident because apparent servitude is characterized by its visibility through exterior signs, works, or constructions that indicate its existence. This type of servitude is typically related to the use of one property for the benefit of another property, where the signs or works provide clear evidence of this relationship. For instance, a right of way across a property might be marked by a path, gate, or other visible markers that show the servitude exists and can be utilized.

In contrast, negative servitude generally involves restrictions on the landowner's rights regarding neighboring properties, rather than physical presence or visibility. Nonapparent servitude, on the other hand, is not discernible by observation and may require legal documentation or title references to establish its existence, lacking the clear signs or constructions that characterize apparent servitudes. A usufructuary involves the right to use and enjoy the benefits of a property, which is a different legal concept entirely and does not pertain directly to the visibility of rights or burdens on neighboring properties.
