    The correct answer is option C.

    Explanation:

    When we save we deposit it in the bank and do not loan it out directly. But the bank keeps a certain portion of it and lends out the rest to those who need credit. So, the savings that we deposit in the bank become the basis of credit creation.

    That is why the statement about saving and lending given in the question is incorrect.
