Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] In any economy, financial institutes play an important role because all the financial dealings and matters are handled and monitored by such institutes. The major components of financial institutes are banks, insurance companies, credit card agencies, investment companies, consumer finance companies, and other specialized financial institutes.
