The answer is: B) The financial firms are too big to fail.
Explanation:
President George W. Bush thought this way when he approved the bailouts of several banks which he considered TOO BIG TO FAIL.

That would only lead to a deeper recession.
President Barack Obama used the same logic when he bailed out General Motors and Chrysler. He thought that if those car companies stopped working, then a major portion of the country's whole manufacturing system would collapse.
