Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
A reference to another document for a statement of rights with respect to collateral,prepayment,or acceleration does not destroy the negotiability of a note.In this case,the mortgage does not affect rights and duties of the parties to the note.It would not be necessary to examine the mortgage document to determine the rights of the parties to the note;the parties need only examine the note.
