      A An increase in the Bank Rate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      C RBI no longer provides loans to commercial banks Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Easy credit policy of banks Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of the Above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Tightening policy occurs when central banks raise the policy rates, and easing occurs when central banks lower the policy rate. In a tightening monetary policy environment, the RBI raises policy rates so as to reduce the money supply, thereby controlling inflation in the economy.
