Answer:

Regulation of interest rates ( C )

Step-by-step explanation:

The federal reserve tool that it can use to stabilize prices is the ability to regulate interest rates. the lower the interest rate the less the inflation therefore prices will tend to be more stable in the market and companies can put up with taking out loans to go into more productive activities
