Bank failures reoccurred in the 1980s and early 1990s due to the savings and loan crisis, and again starting in 2006 leading up to and during the financial crisis of 2007-2008. The FDIC's creation in 1933 did not end bank failures, and while there were economic policies and events during the Clinton administration that affected banks, there wasn't a dramatic increase in bank failures specifically attributed to that period. The late 1990s and early 2000s did see some financial instability, but the significant reoccurrence of bank failures aligns with the two periods mentioned in option D.
