Correct answer:
Savings accounts are designed for storing money in an easily accessible manner, whereas investment accounts are geared toward long-term wealth accumulation.
Brief explanation:
- Savings accounts prioritize liquidity and safety (easy access, low risk, low interest).
- Investment accounts aim for higher long‑term returns but come with more risk and typically less immediate liquidity.
The other statements are incorrect or misleading (taxation varies by account type and jurisdiction; account purpose isn’t strictly determined by amount).
