Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), a secured party automatically has a security interest in the proceeds of collateral upon its sale or disposition by the debtor. This ensures the secured party's interest is protected even after the original collateral is transformed or sold.
