A Correct answer
Explanation

The assertion is correct because inviting someone to your house creates an implied license or consent, negating the trespass claim. The reason is also a general legal principle - voluntarily waiving a right prevents its later enforcement. However, the reason doesn't directly explain the assertion; the trespass rule is based on implied consent/license doctrine, not voluntary waiver of rights.
