What does the term 'lien' refer to in legal terms?

A right to keep possession of someone else's property until a debt is settled
A temporary prohibition of an activity
A feeling of intense dislike or disgust
A large extinct elephant from the Pleistocene epoch

The correct answer is: A right to keep possession of someone else's property until a debt is settled

The term 'lien' in legal terminology specifically refers to a right or interest that a creditor has in another's property, granted until a debt owed by that property owner is satisfied. This means that the creditor has a claim on the property which allows them to retain possession or to enforce the sale of the property to recover the amount owed. It is an important legal concept in property law and debt recovery. The other options do not accurately describe a lien. A temporary prohibition of an activity relates to legal restrictions, which does not encompass the ownership or claim aspect of a lien. A feeling of intense dislike or disgust pertains to emotions and does not connect to financial or property claims. The mention of a large extinct elephant from the Pleistocene epoch is entirely unrelated to legal terminology, focusing instead on paleontology. Thus, the correct answer effectively captures the essence of what a lien represents in a legal context.
