The answer is option 2: To reorganize and reopen banks with enough money to operate.

The Emergency Banking Act of 1933 was enacted with the purpose of strengthening American confidence in the banking system since previously almost 1/3 of American banks had collapsed and failed.

The legislation regulated some banking practices, established several qualified conservators to take over bookkeeping and reorganize the banks, and authorized the treasury secretary to determine which banks were in need of financial assistance and to give them loans so they can start to operate again, among others.
