(单选题)

About the future of small banks, which cannot be inferred?

A.They face hopeful opportunities as well as great challenges.

B.Regulations will be tightened if another financial crisis breaks out.

C.Employees of small banks may be mostly enthusiastic.

D.People may see new prosperity of small banks.

参考答案：B

参考解析：

推理判断题。根据倒数第四段的内容可知，小银行作为新兴银行不可避免地面临着巨大的挑战。但他们正在缓解。金融危机后，对小型机构放松了监管。技术成本正在下降。所以可以推测小银行的前景较好，B项的意思和本段第三句“Regulations tightened after the crisis have been loosened for smaller institutions.”完全相反，故错误。故选B。
