Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A vested remainder is the correct term because it is a future interest given to a specific person (Edith) that is certain to become possessory upon the expiration of the prior estate (after her grandmother dies), and not subject to any condition precedent beyond the natural termination of the prior estate.
