Besides, if there was more than one interviewer, <em>a unique letter should be addressed to each of interviewer</em>.

blsea [12.9K]

The correct answer is C. Money is safer in the bank.

Explanation:

The main point or position of Jonas is that savings should be kept in an account due to the costs associated with this. In this context, the only argument that refutes Jonas' position and it is directly related to the main point of Jonas is "Money is safer in the bank" because even if keeping savings in a bank requires to pay fees this guarantees the money will be safe, which does not occur if Jonas keeps his savings at home.
