What is a possible action a secured party may take regarding collateral without removing it?

  1. Deem it unusable

  2. Sell it at any price

  3. Transfer it to another secured party

  4. Leave it untouched temporarily

The correct answer is: Deem it unusable

A secured party can take various actions regarding collateral while still possessing it, and deeming it unusable is a valid course of action. When a secured party determines that the collateral can no longer be used in a way that satisfies the security agreement or that it is in poor condition, they can effectively declare it unusable. This may impact the obligations of the debtor and the status of the secured party's interest in the collateral, but it does not physically remove the collateral from the location. Deeming the collateral unusable allows the secured party to protect their interests while they consider their next steps, such as possibly repossessing or liquidating the collateral in accordance with the terms of the security agreement and relevant law. The other options involve either actions that require a certain degree of alteration to the collateral's status, such as selling it outright or transferring it, or they describe the state of keeping the collateral without taking definitive action, which doesn't reflect an action taken by the secured party regarding its status.
