Answer: Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Reserve ratio = 25%

Fed reserve bank sells (securities) to public = $120 million

When a central bank sells the government securities to the public then as a result money supply in an economy decreases. This is an instrument of monetary policy known as " Open market Operations".

The supply of money is directly decreases by $120 million.

and

Money creating potential of banks = Amount of securities × (\frac{1}{rr} - 1)

                                                          = 120 × (\frac{1}{0.25} - 1)

                                                          = 120 × 3

                                                          = $360 million

Hence, a decrease in money supply could eventually reach a maximum of $360 million.
