Solution

The correct statement about credit unions and building societies is a) They often draw their membership from a particular industry or section of the community.

Here's why:

a) Credit unions and building societies are often formed by people with a common bond, such as working in the same industry or living in the same community. This is a defining characteristic of these types of financial institutions.

b) Credit unions and building societies are not generally major public companies with millions of shareholders. They are typically smaller, member-owned institutions.

c) While members of credit unions and building societies may receive dividends, it's not accurate to say that all members are paid a share of any profits that are made. The distribution of profits depends on the institution's policies and the member's level of participation (such as the amount of savings or loans they have with the institution).

d) Credit unions and building societies are not limited to making small loans. They can and do provide finance for home or property purchases.
