Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Substantial and unreasonable interference with the use or enjoyment of land through noise and smoke is private "Nuisance", and loss of tenants caused by the smoke and noise of the adjoining mill is such an interference. Physical entry onto the land is not required, so it is not "Trespass to land", and the later establishment of the mill does not excuse the interference.
