✅ Correct Option: 1
Long-term lending by RBI to commercial banks is at the Bank Rate (A-IV). RBI buying securities with a specified date and price of resale is a repurchase (repo) agreement (B-III). RBI selling securities with a specified date and price of repurchase is a reverse repo agreement (C-I). Buying and selling government bonds in the open market is Open Market Operations (D-II).
