Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Money multiplier refers to the reciprocal of required reserve ratio.
The formula for determining money multiplier is as follows:
= 1 ÷ Reserve requirement ratio
If the households are desired to hold more currency in hand then as result the there will be leakage in the form of households holding cash with themselves.
Hence, this will lead to decrease the money multiplier because of higher reserve requirement ratio for the banks.
