Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] Basel II, initially published in June 2004, was intended to amend international standards that controlled how much capital banks need to hold to guard against the financial and operational risks banks face.

One focus was to maintain sufficient consistency of regulations so to limit competitive inequality amongst internationally active banks.
