When Sanjiv sold his interest to Antonetta, the joint tenancy between Andrew and Sanjiv was severed, creating a tenancy in common between Andrew and Antonetta. Upon Andrew's death, his interest would pass according to his will or the laws of intestacy, not by survivorship. Therefore, none of the provided options correctly describe the outcome.
