The answer is a. Only V.
REASON:
Liquidity means the ready availability of cash. It means that a business or a firm or any institution should have assets that can be readily converted into cash with ease and without any loss in their value.
thus, liquidity is an important consideration not only for the central bank but for other commercial banks and business in the economy.
A business has to ensure that it has sufficient liquid funds available at all times to meet its obligations.Like a business has to make payment to suppliers, meet its expenses etc.
Similarly, a commercial bank has to ensure that it has funds available to pay its depositors who may come on any day to take back their funds.
Hence, liquidity is important for all and not just for central bank.
