    Option (d) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Reserve requirement = 0.08

    Demand deposits = $200,000

    Holding in reserves = $4,000

    Reserve required:

    = Reserve Requirement ratio * Amount of demand deposits

    = 0.08 * $200,000

    = $16,000

    Therefore, the reserves in holding is less than the required reserves. Hence, the bank is not meeting its reserve requirement.
