Answer:
(B). collect government taxes
Explanation:
A Bank is a financial institution that helps with the management of money, gives out loans, and gets profits in return. Banks only provide a means through which taxes are paid by opening an account for the government. Banks help people save their money, issue credit cards, store money in a safe place, etc. It is the function of the tax revenue service hired by the government to perform this duty. Hence, it is not within the banks' jurisdiction to collect taxes.
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who was responsible for opening the "New World" to European colonization in 1492. This was the first contact that Europe had had with the Caribbean, Central and South America. Columbus's voyages were sponsored by the Catholic Kings of Spain, Isabella and Ferdinand.
When Columbus undertook these trips, he made some promises to the Kings in order to guarantee their support. Columbus promised that he would <u>bring back gold, spices, and silks from the Far East; spread Christianity; and lead an expedition to China.</u>
