The correct option is B.
The Basel III Accord is a set of international banking regulations developed by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) through the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). It was developed in response to the global financial crisis of 2007-08. Basel III aims to improve the regulation, supervision, and risk management within the banking sector. Key objectives include strengthening bank capital requirements, enhancing liquidity standards, and controlling leverage, thereby improving the banking sector’s ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress.
Basel I and Basel II were earlier versions of these accords focusing primarily on capital requirements and risk management. Basel III builds upon these, introducing more stringent requirements and new measures related to liquidity and leverage to create a more resilient banking system.
