Which lien is specifically for nonpayment of taxes?

Mortgage lien
Tax lien
Mechanic's lien
Judgment lien

The correct answer is: Tax lien

A tax lien is specifically for nonpayment of taxes because it is a legal claim against a property for unpaid tax debt. It is placed by the government when a taxpayer fails to pay their taxes and serves as a way for the government to collect the owed money. A mortgage lien, on the other hand, is for nonpayment of a home loan, a mechanic's lien is for nonpayment of labor or materials for property improvements, and a judgment lien is for nonpayment of a court-ordered debt. These three options are not specifically for nonpayment of taxes and serve different purposes.
