Respuesta :

Answer:

option c is the right answer...( the statement is false)

Explanation:

a person can mortage his or her property for loan and the law also allow a second mortgage.. for example if bank A authorizes a loan to a client based on a property and bank B also authorizes a loan based on thesame property, in an event of foreclosure bank A will be prioritized over bank B i.e bank A will recouped it debt before bank B but if there is any left over from the sale proceeds bank B will also recoupe it debt. in this situation the second mortage holder will receive it $34,000 due.
