D sounds plausible too, sanctions could definitely come into play.

I think C is the right answer, it’s about keeping track of non-cooperative countries.

Wait, can they really just close accounts like that? Seems extreme.

Okay, I've got this. The key is that each agreed-to and funded risk response should have a risk response owner. That means option B is the correct answer. I'm confident in this approach.

I think categorizing a country as being of "prime money laundering concern" might allow the U.S. to close some correspondent accounts, but I'm not entirely sure.
