Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Banks themselves don't print currency so A is out.

Exchanging gold for paper currency does not create new money, it is just equal exchange so C is out.

Lending more money than they are required to hold in the reserve is incorrect because that money already existed and was in the bank's possession so D is out.

The only answer that fits both conditions is B
