Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
An unqualified, blank endorsement on a negotiable instrument, such as a check, means that the endorser simply signs their name on the back without specifying a new payee. This effectively turns the instrument from order paper, which requires endorsement to a specific individual, into bearer paper, which can be cashed or transferred by whoever holds it.
