The four year statute of limitations with respect to a foreclosure applies to

  1. personal loans only.

  2. judicial foreclosure only.

  3. non-judicial foreclosure only.

  4. both judicial and non-judicial foreclosure.

The correct answer is: judicial foreclosure only.

In this question, the four year statute of limitations refers specifically to a foreclosure, which is a legal process used by lenders to take ownership of a property when a borrower fails to make mortgage payments. While the statute of limitations may vary depending on the state, in general, it starts from the date of the last missed payment. Option A is incorrect because a personal loan is not tied to a specific property, therefore foreclosure does not apply. Option C is incorrect because non-judicial foreclosure refers to a type of foreclosure process that does not involve the court system, but it still falls under the four year statute of limitations. Option D is also incorrect because it includes both judicial and non-judicial foreclosure, when the question is specifically asking about the limitation for one of these types - judicial foreclosure.
