Which of the following is a source of credit?

• A. Public Libraries
• B. Gas Stations
• C. Retail Stores
• D. Movie Theaters

Answer: (C)

Retail stores qualify as a source of credit because many offer store-brand credit cards or in-store financing that allow you to buy now and pay later. This creates a credit line with the retailer, often with terms like monthly payments or promotional periods (such as 0% interest for a set time). The other options don’t typically extend credit in this way: libraries lend resources, not money; gas stations and movie theaters generally require payment at the time of purchase and don’t provide ongoing borrowing terms.
