Explanation:
Based on the provided approval hierarchy table, for a counterparty with an internal rating of R3, the maximum approval limit for the Head of Trading is `85`M, and for the Head of Risk it is \`110M. The Credit Committee has an approval limit up to \135`M. Since the requested loan amount is exactly \`135`M, it exceeds the individual authority of the Head of Trading and the Head of Risk, thus requiring the approval of the Credit Committee.
