I'm leaning towards C as the best answer, as dealing with customers from high-risk countries is a major concern in private banking.

I think both C and B are valid choices, as they involve potentially risky situations that require due diligence measures.

That's true, B could also be a valid option as it involves a high-risk entity wanting to open an account.

But what about B? Doesn't a beneficial owner of an exchange house also pose a risk?

I think the correct answer is C, because a wealthy individual from a high-risk country requires extra due diligence.
