A cooperative in Manhattan is converting to a condominium. How does this conversion affect existing shareholders with share loans?

Answer Options
A
Share loans automatically convert to traditional mortgages with the same terms
B
Shareholders must pay off their share loans before receiving condominium deeds
C
Share loans remain in effect but become secured by the new condominium unit
