Remark
The problem with A and B is that one or the other is always possible. So one of them should be your answer.

Comment
This problem depends on whether or not you believe the two statements are connected in some way.

Does he go to the bank to deposit money, or is that the only time he can go to the bank is on the days that he gets paid?

The problem is not clear enough to make a decision. So your answer is either B or D.

I would say your safest choice is D. You don't know for certain what his motivations are.

D <<<<<<< answer.
