    B buy U. S. Government securities from bank dealers with an agreement to sell them back at a later date

    Explanation:

    The Federal reserve uses open market operations to regulate liquidity in the economy. This eases or restricts how bank dealers can give credit.

    To ease credit giving ability of bank dealers the Federal Reserve will buy US Government securities from bank dealers. This gives them extra money which they can give out as loans to their customers.

    On the other hand when credit needs to be tightened, the Federal Reserve will mop up cash by selling Government securities to the bank dealers
