D Correct answer
Explanation

The FTSE-100 index crossing 5,000 was psychologically significant as it represented recovery from the 2008 financial crisis lows. The index falling below 5,000 had been seen as a bear market indicator. GDP growth, startups, and bank loans are important but not tracked by this specific benchmark.
