Correct Answer:
C. Silicon Valley Bank
The year 2023 witnessed significant events in the US banking sector, including notable collapses.
- The correct answer is Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). SVB collapsed in March 2023, marking one of the largest bank failures in US history since the 2008 financial crisis. Its failure was primarily due to a bank run triggered by concerns over its financial health and interest rate risks.
- Bank of America and JPMorgan are two of the largest and most stable banks in the United States and did not collapse in 2023.
The collapse of SVB had ripple effects across the financial industry.
