the cost of keeping a bank in business

C
the cost of borrowing money from a bank
D
the cost of starting a new business

A bank’s interest rate measures the price a borrower pays for using money borrowed from the bank, usually expressed as a percentage of the loan. So it is the cost of borrowing money from a bank, not the cost of depositing money or running a business.
