Hines and West had been dating for many years. They decided to live together and some day, should things work out, get married. Since each earned a sizable income, they decided to invest some of their money in real estate. They purchased Blackacre for $ 100,000$, each contributing half the purchase price from savings. They took title as joint tenants with right of survivorship. Two years later, Hines and West were married. One year after that, the parties separated. Hines then quitclaimed all of his interest in Blackacre to his brother, Brown, who duly recorded the deed. The jurisdiction has no applicable statute. Blackacre is now held by:
A. West and Brown, as joint tenants with right of survivorship.
B. West and Brown, as tenants in common.
C. Hines and West, as tenants by the entirety.
D. Hines and West, as joint tenants with right of survivorship.
