Answer 1

C) Having a savings account gives individuals the ability to borrow money from members in the community 

A savings account definitely can help you with A and B. While D may sound a bit dramatic, a responsible savings routine and a savings account with a healthy balance can make great things happen. However, a savings account does not give you the ability to borrow money from members in the community. This is not a feature of a savings account.
