A writ of garnishment is a legal order that allows a creditor to seize funds from a debtor's bank account. Since Stanley owed Wade $50,000 and was not reachable, Wade used a writ of garnishment to recover the money from Stanley's savings account. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. The other options, writ of attachment, writ of prohibition, and writ of exigent, are not applicable to this scenario.
