1. Option B when banks made loans they traditionally keep the loans on their own books; in recent years, they have securitized the loans. Banks may securitize debt for several reasons including risk management, balance sheet issues, greater leverage of capital and to profit from origination fees. Debt is securitized by pooling certain types of debt instruments and creating a new financial instrument from the pooled debt

2.Option A issuing bonds.They raise funds by selling bonds (that the gov. guarantees) and uses the funds to buy mortgages from the banks.

3. Option A increased liquidity. Securitization involves taking an illiquid asset (or group of assets) and consolidating with other assets in an effort to create a more liquid asset that can be sold to another party

4.,Option B 1994 Riegle-Neal Act Repealed the McFadden Act's ban on interstate banking.Today banks can expand around the country.
