Answer

Option

B. Supply of reserves shifts rightward and federal funds rate declines

The  Fed buys securities on the open market which increases reserves in the market and as the supply of reserves shifts to the right which decreases Federal fund rate in the reserve market as it is the interest rate charged by banks to other banks in the Federal fund market so it is called Federal fund rate.
