Solution

The correct option is D Banks require a collateral.
Both banks and moneylenders are sources of credit. Banks belong to the category of formal sector credit, whereas moneylenders belong to the category of informal sector credit. Banks have lower rates of interest but demand a collateral. Moneylenders do not require collateral but charge exorbitantly high interest rates.
