Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Stress tests are carried out to determine how financial systems would react in periods of extreme stress eg. financial or economic crisis.

Stress situations are simulated and the reaction of the financial system to the stress is measured. Based on the reactions of the financial system, steps are taken to further improve or strengthen the financial system.

The scenarios used in a stress test can be based on historical events (events that have already occurred) or hypothetical events.
