Correct answer: A
A credit card offers a "line of credit," which means the issuing bank lends you money up to a certain limit to make purchases. This is essentially a short-term loan. Most credit card companies offer an interest-free grace period (usually between 20 to 50 days). If you pay your monthly statement balance in full and on time, you are not charged any interest on those purchases.
