Smith' s construction of an 8-foot fence around his property will block his neighbor Johnson's scenic view. If Smith constructed a 6-foot fence, Johnson's view would not be blocked. If Johnson values his view at $1,000 and Smith values the extra 2 feet of fence at $500, then a possible resolution is that

a. Johnson makes a side payment to Smith of $750 not to build the fence so high.
b. Johnson makes a side payment to Smith of less than $500 not to build the fence so high.
c. Smith makes a side payment of $750 to Johnson to live with the fence.
d. Smith makes a side payment of over $1000 to Johnson to live with the fence.
