I pick B because "banks paid" which is the simple past because the act of paying higher interest rates is a action that is done and over with prior to the act. Anyone else disagree? I am looking to improve my SC hence the reason I am here

Agree with D to...
Forst it is more concise and secondly 'have' shud be there, cos it started in the past and continues in the present!

^ D ^

Since 1980, when the Depository Institutions Deregulation act allowed interest rates for checking and saving accounts to be based on the market rather than government edict , nearly all banks have paid considerably higher rates than they had prior to the Act's passing.

1) we need present perfect "have paid" because we have "since"

2) "allow ... to "

'D' & 'B' are quite close except the 'have' at the end.

'D' seems to be right choice

OA is D.

Good job BG. 'Since' indicates an action still continues hence we need 'have'
