I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like corporates might also borrow for regulatory reasons, especially if they have debt covenants.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know regulatory capital is important for banks, but do their borrowings really come down to that? I'm not as confident in my answer as I'd like to be. Maybe I should review the material on bank capital requirements again.

Okay, let's see. Banks, corporates, governments, and supranationals all have borrowings, but I think the key here is which ones are most likely to be driven by regulatory capital requirements. That points to banks, so I'll go with option A.
