Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
When Anderson, the life tenant, dies, the property reverts to Brantly's heirs because a life estate lasts only for the lifetime of the grantee, and upon the grantee's death, the property passes according to the original grantor's estate plan or heirs if not otherwise specified.
