What can we infer from the first paragraph? ( )

参考解析：

A项：根据关键词2008和financial system定位至第一段第一句，When financiers and governments redesigned the financial system in order to make it safer after the debacle of 2007-09, 在2007-09年金融危机之后，金融家和政府重新设计了金融体系，以使其更加安全。可知A项只是其中一个细节点，排除；B项：根据关键词lockdowns定位至第一段，Lockdowns have led to a savage recession that is expected to produce huge loan losses...封锁导致了一场严重的经济衰退。可知B项也只是其中一个细节点，排除；D项：根据关键词subprime定位至第一段，most of them imagined that a shock as bad as the subprime fiasco would be a generation away.大多数人以为，像次贷危机那样严重的冲击将在一代人之后发生。可知，D项与原文信息相矛盾。C项可根据首段第一句和最后一句得出，并且频频出现关键词safe。故本题正确答案选C。
