A Correct answer
Explanation

When RBI lowers the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), banks are required to keep less cash with the RBI, freeing up more funds for lending. This increases the money multiplier effect, allowing banks to create more credit and expand lending capacity in the economy. A lower CRR is an expansionary monetary policy.
