Answer
A
maximize profits at little risk.
B
sacrifice profits for less risk.
C
maximize profits at great risk.
D
sacrifice profits for more risk.

People with good credit are less likely to default, so lending to them involves less risk. By offering them lower interest rates, banks collect less interest and give up some potential profit in exchange for that lower risk. Thus, banks sacrifice profits for less risk.
