Did you choose D? Remember that you can still be denied a mortgage even after being pre-approved. Lenders check your credit during pre-approval and again just before closing before giving you the final green light. This means that opening new lines of credit or closing existing lines of credit during this process can lower your credit score and increase your debt-to-income ratio—both key reasons for a lender to deny final approval.
