A deposit of money or bond in court is called an

• A. Statute of limitations
• B. Surety
• C. Undertaking
• D. Transcript

Answer: (C)

The concept is a formal security given to the court to guarantee a promise or obligation. When money is deposited or a bond is posted with the court, it serves as an undertaking—a written obligation to pay a certain amount or to perform a required act if conditions are not met. This makes sense because the court needs a concrete promise or security backing the party’s commitments, not just a record of time limits or proceedings. The other terms don’t fit this idea: a statute of limitations deals with how long you have to sue, a transcript is the written record of proceedings, and a surety is the person or entity that provides the bond, not the deposit or written promise itself.
