  1. Starting at the southernmost point of the property, 40 feet northeast, then 40 feet northwest, then 40 feet southwest, then 40 feet southeast.
  2. Starting at the northernmost point of the property, 100 feet southeast, then 100 feet southwest, then 100 feet northwest, then 100 feet east.

  4. Starting on the westernmost point of the property, 300 feet northeast, then 200 feet southeast, then 300 feet southwest, then 200 feet northwest.
Explanation
Answer: B - Starting at the northernmost point of the property, 100 feet southeast, then 100 feet southwest, then 100 feet northwest, then 100 feet east. Answer B is not correct because the legal description does not describe a complete boundary-the 100 feet east ends without meeting the beginning point. Answers A, C, and D are all correct because each describes a complete boundary.
