    The correct option is A that is federal funds rate

    Explanation:

And in accordance with the law, the banks need to preserve or keep a reserve, that is equal to a particular % (percentage) of the deposits in the account at a Federal Reserve bank.

    The headline is likely to address the federal funds rate in the journal.
