1. C. Increase in repurchase agreement rate : This is a measure to make borrowing more expensive,reducing excess money in the economy.

2. A. Commercial Banks will increase their lending rate : As the Central Bank increases the repurchase agreement rate, commercial banks respond by raising their lending rates.

3. B. Borrowing requirements will fall : Higher lending rates lead to reduced borrowing, as borrowing becomes more expensive.

4. E. Income generation will slow down : Reduced borrowing and increased lending rates can lead to a slowdown in economic activities and income generation.

5. D. Reduction of demand for goods and services at the macro level : With slowed income generation and increased borrowing costs, the overall demand for goods and services tends to decrease.
