Answer:

(B) an order of garnishment

Step-by-step explanation:

An order of garnishment or a garnishment order is an order given to a bank to withhold money meant for a party and send it to another party because of an unpaid debt. This can also be instructed to a third party to deduct payments from the wage of a debtor directly. They are used majorly for debt such as defaulted student loans, unpaid child support and taxes etc.
