Solution

The characteristic of a savings account from the options provided is a) Offers a higher interest rate than checking accounts.

Here's why:

a) Savings accounts typically do offer a higher interest rate than checking accounts. This is because they are designed for you to save money over a longer period of time, and the interest is a reward for keeping your money in the account.

b) Savings accounts do not provide unlimited transactions without fees. In fact, they often limit the number of transactions you can make each month. If you exceed this limit, you may be charged a fee.

c) Savings accounts do not typically allow you to write checks. This is a feature more common to checking accounts.

d) Savings accounts do earn interest, which is one of their main benefits. This option is incorrect.
