Delaney Kelly · Answer 1

Buying and selling of government securities by the Fed.

Explanation:

Open market operations is a part of monetary policy instruments that Fed utilize in controlling the money supply in an economy.

When there is a need to reduce the money supply, then Fed should sells the government securities to the public which will reduce the money supply.

On the other hand, if there is a need to increase the money supply then as a result Fed should buy the government securities from the public and this will increases the money supply.
