Answer:

B) The higher the reserve ratio, the smaller the money multiplier, and the more money will be created

Step-by-step explanation:

The first part is true, the higher the reserve ratio, the smaller the money multiplier. The formula for the money multiplier equals 1 / r.

The second part of the sentence is wrong. If the money multiplier is small, then the amount of money "created" by banks will also be small.
