Solution

The correct option is D Farmers lack of collateral
Banks are unwilling to lend to small, landless farmers because they lack collateral. Collateral is a safety net that is promised at the time of taking a loan from a bank. In the event a borrower fails to repay the loan, banks take the collaeteral.
