Explanation
Why A — $250,000
The FDIC insures deposits at member banks up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, per ownership category. This covers checking accounts, savings accounts, CDs, and money market deposit accounts. Securities held at a brokerage are NOT covered by the FDIC — they fall under SIPC protection instead.
