The correct answer is D

Explanation:

Checking account is an account at the bank against that checks can be drawn by the depositor. In this account, an individual deposits the money or can spend the money.

In this case, she gave a loan of amount $10,000 and also deposited the full amount of the loan into the checking account. So, this will affect the loans as well as the deposits as both will increase with the same amount as the deposit.
