Best Answer Explained in Below-:

Agrani Bank was established in 1972 as a Nationalized Commercial Bank (NCB) in Bangladesh to enhance the stability of the banking sector and to take over the banking operations that existed prior to its formation. The bank assumed the assets and liabilities of certain financial institutions that were nationalized during this period.

Among the options presented, the correct choice is option D) National Bank and United Bank. These banks were among those whose operations and assets were integrated into Agrani Bank as part of the government's efforts to reorganize the banking sector and serve its economic objectives. This move aimed to consolidate the banking landscape in Bangladesh, ensuring better regulation and provision of financial services to the public. The nationalization process was critical in shaping the current framework of banking in Bangladesh, where state control played a vital role in the economy post-independence.

In contrast, the other options mention banks that were not part of the initial takeover by Agrani Bank. Thus, option D accurately reflects the historical context of Agrani Bank's formation and its role in the national banking framework.
