I think the answer is B as well. It's easier to hide illegal transactions with digital currencies.

Haha, I bet the money launderers are just lining up to use those 'strict' digital currency regulations. Option C all the way!

I'm going with D. Digital currencies have strict identification and recordkeeping requirements, making them less useful for money laundering.

That's a good point, but I still think D is more likely because of the strict requirements in place for digital currencies.

I think option B is the most accurate. Digital currencies can be attractive for money laundering because cross-jurisdictional payments make it harder for authorities to track.
