Alyvia · Answer 1

The answer is (D.) A credit union is a nonprofit entity; a commercial bank is a for-profit entity.

Step-by-step explanation:

While Credit unions are not-for-profit organizations that exist to serve their members Retail banks are for-profit organizations that exist to serve the general public. Just like retail banks, credit unions accept deposits, make loans and provide a wide array of other financial services, but mainly from registered members ... But as member-owned and cooperative institutions, credit unions provide a safe haven to members only to save and borrow at reasonable rates.
