Explanation
Section 3 (201) states that a negotiable instrument, which is payable to its bearer and transferable by its delivery, provides the holder's right to its transferee.
In this case, Individual S delivered the notes to Individual K. So, Individual K has gained the rights as a holder.
Verified Answer
In this case, Individual K has all the rights of a holder since the instrument transferred by Individual S is payable to its bearer and negotiable in nature.
