B) channel funds directly from lenders to borrowers.

Explanation:

The complete financial system is a means by which money is transferred from savers to borrowers. The financial system is made up of banks, insurance companies, financial markets, and other financial institutions that allow the exchange of money.

Financial markets are the only type of institution that allows the exchange of money from lenders to borrowers without third parties being involved.
