Answer 1

Elijah's concern about the safety of his deposits in the bank is addressed by the **Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)**. The FDIC provides insurance for deposits made at member banks, protecting depositors against the loss of their money if the bank fails, up to a certain limit (currently $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank).

So, the correct answer is:

**Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation**
