Which category best describes the instrument that includes Credit Union share accounts among the options below?

• A. Bank term deposits
• B. Credit Union share accounts
• C. Government bonds
• D. Annuities

Answer: (B)

Credit union share accounts are a form of deposit account offered by credit unions. They represent members’ ownership in the credit union and function similarly to savings accounts, providing liquidity and government-backed insurance up to the applicable limit. This category is the one that actually encompasses the instrument in question because it describes savings/deposit accounts specifically housed within credit unions. The other options refer to different kinds of financial instruments: bank term deposits are fixed-term bank deposits, government bonds are debt securities issued by a government, and annuities are insurance products with a defined payout structure.
