BNon-judicial foreclosure (foreclosure by power of sale)✓ Correct
CLis pendens
DDeed in lieu of foreclosure

In Mississippi's deed of trust system, the trustee has the power of sale. Non-judicial (non-court) foreclosure allows the trustee to sell the property to satisfy the debt without a court proceeding, making it faster than judicial foreclosure.
