## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify the term that describes the process by which a citizen or a legal entity may become the owner of a thing without a previous owner due to a certain condition. <br /><br />## Step 2<br />The term "acquisitive prescription" refers to the process by which a person or a legal entity may become the owner of a thing without a previous owner due to a certain condition. This condition is typically the passage of a certain period of time during which the person or entity has openly and continuously used or possessed the property, and during which the previous owner has not claimed or interfered with the property.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The other options provided, such as "limitation of action", "expiration of the statute of limitations on bringing an action", and "testamentary prescription", do not describe this process.
