Option b is correct option because Moral Hazard cannot be
minimised by allowing company to borrow from other investors.
Moral hazard means risk for one party or
loss for only one party even though there has been an exchange by
two parties. It occurs due to asymmetric information which means a
party has more information about particular transaction than the
other party. Ex A company get loans by manipulating its balance
sheet and other financial statements and hence transferring all
risks to banks.
All other options allow bank to gather more information about the
company
