D. Too many risky loans given out.
Explanation:
The economic crisis of 2008, which was one of the worst economic crisis in the world, began when too many risky loans were given out to people who couldn't afford to pay back so eventually the debts became bigger than the money available, leading the bank system to almost collapse.
