Answer:
D. To make sure customers don't lose money if their bank fails.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or simply the FDIC, is an independent agency whose mandate ensures customers do not lose their deposits should a bank or any other financial institution fails. The FDIC insures customer deposits up to a stated limit per person, per bank, per each account category. The insurance coverage is automatic to all account holders in an FDIC insured bank.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is financed by the insurance premiums paid by banks and other institutions. The FDIC’s scope covers checking accounts and savings such as money market accounts and certificates of deposit (CDs).
