Solution

The correct option is A Reduces

Open market operation (OMO) is a monetary policy by the central bank in which the bank deals in the sale and purchase of securities in the open market to control the supply of money in the economy. By selling the securities, the central bank soaks liquidity from the economy which reduces the money supply in the economy.
