Correct Answer:

(C), (A), (D), (B)

Explanation:

When the bank rate is decreased, it becomes cheaper for commercial banks to borrow money from the central bank. This leads to an increase in the reserves held by commercial banks. As a result, commercial banks are able to lend more money to businesses and consumers. This increase in lending leads to an increase in the money supply.

Therefore, the correct sequencing of the events is (C), (A), (D), (B).
