Explanation:

C is false. Gregory states that CCPs can fail, and if one does, the bailout could be a more complex and sizable task than even the bailouts of banks and financial institutions such as Bear Stearns and AIG.

A is true: CCPs do have disadvantages, including moral hazard, adverse selection, and possible pro-cyclical effects.
B is true: The number of CCPs is likely to be relatively large because of bifurcation at both regional and product levels.
D is true: Under the idea of a "conservation of risk," CCPs do not eliminate counterparty risk; they transform it into other forms.

100.0%

CCPs are unlikely to fail, due to margins, but if a CCP fails, a redeeming quality is that its bailout should be relatively simple

In accordance with a sort of "conservation of risk" principal, CCP will not so much reduce counterparty risk as transform it into different forms
