Justine Ho · Answer 2

I believe the answer is: D. The collection of actions the Federal Reserve takes to manage the money supply.

By managing money supply, the federal reserve could control the rate of inflation that experience by the country.

Example of monetary policy is by ordering banks to increase the interest rate given to people who are saving. By doing this, people would be more interested to put their money in the bank and reduce the money supply in the market.
