Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

A lien is the right of a lender to sell the collateral to recover the principal if the borrower is unable to repay the loan. This is a right, which means that it is a form of security interest given over an item of property to secure the payment of a debt or the performance of some other obligation.

Have a nice day!
