D

Explanation:

The same good credit behaviors, such as on-time payments and low debt to credit ratios, will lead to good credit scores regardless of the scoring model.

A credit score is a 3-digit number that shows the tendency that a consumer will repay his debts.

The FICO scoring model is considered the most dependable because it has the best performance history. It has been in existence since 1989 and there have been numerous revisions over the last 30 years.
