AA description of the property pledged as collateral
BThe borrower's personal promise to repay the debt✓ Correct
CThe lender's right to foreclose if the borrower defaults
DCovenants requiring the borrower to maintain the property and pay taxes
Explanation
In Connecticut, the personal promise to repay the debt is contained in the promissory note (not the mortgage). The mortgage (or deed of trust) is the security document that pledges the property as collateral. The mortgage contains the property description, covenants, and the lender's right to foreclose, but not the personal promise to repay.
