I definitely recall that LIBOR is not about customer rates, so I think D is definitely wrong. But I’m still torn between A and B.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think it was about the average rate at fixing time, which might point to option B.

I think LIBOR is related to the rates banks offer each other, but I’m not sure if it’s the average or the highest rate.
