Question

BLESSING WATSON · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  An oral stop-payment order on a check is binding on the bank for 14 days and can be extended for six months if confirmed in writing within that period. Therefore, since Ellen placed the order on April 6, a written confirmation would extend the order until October 6.
