Concept:A credit instrument is a document that represents a promise or order to pay a specified amount of money.
A bill of lading is different because it is a document of title used in the transport of goods.
Explanation:A. Bill of Exchange,
B. Bank Notes, and
C. Cheques are all credit instruments.
They are negotiable documents that facilitate credit, payment, or the transfer of money.
A
D. Bill of Lading is issued by a carrier, such as a shipping company, to acknowledge receipt of goods.
It serves as evidence of the contract of carriage and contains details such as the type of goods, quantity, and destination.
However, it does not contain a promise or order to pay money.
It is therefore a document of title to goods, not a credit instrument.
So the correct choice is the bill of lading.
Answer:D. Bill of Lading
