I lean towards option A as well, but I wonder if there's more to the responsibilities of the treasurer that we should consider.

I remember a practice question that discussed the responsibilities of a treasurer, and it seemed like option D could be a concern if they have too much control over profits.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like option C could be right since the treasury mainly manages funds rather than generating income.

I think option A makes sense because if the treasury is a profit centre, they might take unnecessary risks.
