A bill of exchange is said to be noted when a Notary Public inscribes on it a note to the effect that it has been ______ at maturity.
A、honored
B、dishonored
C、negotiate
D、paid
【正确答案】：B
【名师解析】:在汇票到期时，如果票据被拒绝支付，即表示票据被"dishonored"。因此，正确答案是选项B，即票据被"dishonored"。这表明票据持有人未能在到期时获得款项。选项A "honored" 表示票据被接受并支付，选项C "negotiate" 通常指票据的转让，而选项D "paid" 则直接表示款项已被支付，这与题目中的"noted"（即被标记或记录）不符。
