Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Marney's claim that the endorsement by Annie was illegal because the note misspelled Annie's name is incorrect. A minor misspelling of a name does not invalidate an endorsement or the negotiability of a check. Annie's endorsement of the check, even with the correct spelling of her name, is considered a valid endorsement.
