The correct answer is Only A.

Key Points

  •  Increase repo rate:
    • This is the rate at which commercial banks borrow money from the Reserve Bank.
    • By increasing the repo rate, the Reserve Bank makes it more expensive for banks to borrow money, which reduces the amount of money in circulation and helps to control inflation.
