The answer is: D. Foreclosure by trustee's sale to recover $5,000

Explanation:

A trustee sale is the sale of a property in foreclosure due to default in a loan. In this case the grantor never paid any money before defaulting, so the lender can attempt to recover the maximum possible amount.

Since Anderson endorsed the note as "Without Recourse", he assumes no liability in the event of a default.
