Hafsa.

A CD is best for someone who wants a guaranteed, fixed return and won’t need the money for the CD’s term. Samuel needs emergency access (use a savings or money‑market account), Darren wants very high returns (consider stocks or higher‑risk investments), and Raj wants quick turnover (use short‑term instruments or a liquid account).
