Correct answer
Explanation
In 2000, RBS completed a hostile takeover of National Westminster Bank (NatWest), which was twice its size. This was a landmark deal in British banking history, establishing RBS as a major player. The audacious £21 billion acquisition transformed RBS from a regional Scottish bank into a global financial powerhouse. The question has a grammatical error ('overtaken' should be 'taken over').
