C) Number of respondent banks located in higher risk jurisdictions.
A) Volume of transaction activity referred by the respondent bank.
B) Size and stature of a respondent bank's operations in its home country.

I think the size of the respondent bank's operations could be relevant, but I’m leaning towards the number of banks in high-risk areas.
