E) liquidity risk

Explanation:

FI = financial institution

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that a business or a financial institution will not be able to meet its short term financial obligations.

Usually liquidity risks are caused by a business or financial institution not being able to convert assets into cash without losing money. For example, a business that needs to pay interests on a bond may decide to sell some merchandise at a price below cost in order to have the money on time.
