AIG Received a Government Bailout to Save the Company Because

AIG received a government bailout to save the company because:

A) had the company gone bankrupt, too many employees would have become unemployed without sufficient unemployment insurance to aid them.
B) had the company gone bankrupt, the effect on New York City, where it was situated, would have been a catastrophe so the bailout was actually in part to keep New York City solvent.
C) had the company gone bankrupt, moneys already owed to the U.S. Government prior to the collapse would never have been recovered so the bailout was necessary to keep AIG in operation until they were solvent enough to repay the government.
D) had the company gone bankrupt, the U.S. financial infrastructure would have been severely or even irreparably damaged
