Answer:

D) promise

Promissory: containing or implying a promise.

The root is "promise," this is related to the promissory note that the bank emited some time ago that was used to support their payment, the suffix -"tory" or "ory" turns the word into its adjective form, implying something that has a promise on it, just as the promissory note.
