Answer: C
The major industry identifier for Mastercard is 5.
The first digit of a payment card number is the major industry identifier (MII) under ISO/IEC 7812. Digits 4 and 5 both denote banking and financial cards; Visa numbers begin with 4 and Mastercard numbers have traditionally begun with 5 (51-55), so a Mastercard's MII is 5. Since 2017 Mastercard has also issued a 2-series range.
3 is the travel and entertainment digit used by American Express and Diners Club, 4 is Visa, and 6 is used by Discover and RuPay. Forensic examiners check this digit when screening a card number for forgery.
