C: If a bank has a financial crisis, the FDIC safeguards its customers’ accounts.

The FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) protects bank customers by insuring their deposits up to a certain amount (currently $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank). This means that if a bank fails, the FDIC will reimburse customers for their insured deposits, safeguarding their money in the event of a bank's financial crisis.
