Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
When the central bank buys securities from commercial banks under an agreement specifying the date and price of resale, it is lending funds against securities through a repurchase agreement. The rate at which such repurchase agreements are carried out is the repo rate. In a reverse repo, the central bank sells securities with an agreement to repurchase. Hence option 1.
