What is a lien?

  1. A financial claim against property

  2. A legal document for ownership

  3. A type of insurance

  4. An agreement between tenant and landlord

The correct answer is: A financial claim against property

A lien is a financial claim held by a creditor against property owned by a debtor. This means that the creditor has a legal right to the property until the debt is paid off. B is incorrect because a lien is not a legal document for ownership, it is a legal claim for repayment. C and D are also incorrect because they are not related to the concept of a lien.
