Hello!

The options are:

A. Buy government securities
B. Increase reserve requirements
C. Raise federal funds and prime rates
D. Sell government securities.

The correct answer is buy government securities, because there will be the injection of state money into the economy, expanding the demand for production and requiring more staff in service.
