Answer:

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

During the Panic of 1907, there were a series of bank runs during a period of three weeks. This happened because the stock market fell for a while, and people believed that this was a sign of an economic recession.

Congress created the Federal Reserve in 1913, with the goal of giving it the power to control the money supply, the interest rates, and with the task of regulating the banking system.
