The correct answer is B. Substitute check. The context provided describes a situation where Reserve Banks provide indemnity to a bank for losses related to the creation of a substitute check from an electronic item that was returned, which is not itself a representation of a substitute check. This indemnity is provided under the conditions specified by Regulation CC, but the Reserve Bank's liability does not extend to losses attributable to a lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care by any party who handled the item before its return.
