Answer:

D. may not foreclose because the net value of the homesteaded property is less than the exemption

Explanation:

People use a declaration of homestead to protect their homes from unsecured creditors. It protects the cash value of your home. In a case where a creditor wants to take the cash value of your house to repay debts that you owe them, a Declaration of Homestead does not allow this.

In the case in question, the creditor may not foreclose, this is because the net value of the house is less than the exemption.
