  2. B
    liquidator
  3. C
    executor
  4. D
    underwriter

Answer

The official appointed to take control of pledged assets on behalf of secured creditors is called a receiver.
In legal and financial registers, a 'receiver' is an official designated to take custody of and manage specific assets pledged by a defaulting debtor to secure debt repayment.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the context of the sentence
The context involves corporate insolvency, debt enforcement, and court-appointed asset control for secured lenders.
Specialized registers require choosing the precise technical term matching the specific occupational setting.
2
Distinguish between legal and financial roles in insolvency
A receiver takes charge of specific encumbered assets for secured creditors, whereas a liquidator winds up the entire corporate entity.
Understanding subtle domain distinctions prevents selecting broader or adjacent legal terms.
