Explanation / Answer

Correct option: (b)

Explanation: Since M1 is one of the most liquid measures of money supply, it takes into account currency, checking deposits, traveller checks, demand deposits etc.

Thus, if currency is deposited in checking account, then currency falls while checking deposit increases by the same amount , thereby keeping M1 unchanged.
