The correct option is A M1

Money supply refers to the total stock of money of all types ( currency as well as demand deposits) held by the people of a country at a given point of time.

Money supply is measured in several ways which includes M1, M2, M3 and M4 measurement of money supply. Every measurement has it own definition with different components varying from most liquid to most rigid form.

M1 measurement of money supply is the most liquid money supply in India as it just includes currency held by the public in terms of coins and paper notes, demand deposits of the people with the commercial banks and some other deposits with other financial institutions.
