I think the key is whether the branch is actually being shut down permanently or just relocated. Moving 850 feet seems like more of a relocation than a closure, so D doesn't seem to fit the bill.

Option A is an interesting one - a temporary closure due to hurricane damage. I wonder if that's considered a 'closing' that requires a notice, or if it's more of an emergency situation where the rules are different.

Hah, imagine if the bank just moved the branch 850 feet down the street! Does that really count as 'closing' a branch? Shouldn't they just put up a sign saying 'We've moved to the building next door'?

I'd go with C - when a bank takes over a failed institution, the FDIC usually requires them to keep the branches open for a certain period. Closing one of those would definitely need a notice.

A: I think C makes sense, the FDIC would definitely require notice if they're taking over a failed institution.

But what about situation D? Moving a branch down the street doesn't seem like a big deal.

I agree with Delsie. The heavy hurricane damage is a valid reason for posting a notice.

Option B seems the most straightforward - the bank is closing a branch due to lack of business, so they would need to post a notice. The other options don't seem to clearly require a notice.
