Haha, well if the bank is located in a tropical paradise, I'd say that's a good sign! But seriously, C is the correct answer. Can't take any chances with those risky jurisdictions.

Yes, that's important too, but jurisdictional risk can have a bigger impact on AML/CFT controls.

I agree, C is the way to go. Jurisdictional risk is crucial in this business. You don't want to be caught up in any shady international dealings, am I right?

C) The jurisdiction in which the respondent bank is located. Absolutely, that's the most important factor. I can't believe anyone would even consider the other options.
