Solution

The answer is c. decrease M1 and not change M2.

Here's why:

M1 is a category of the money supply that includes physical currency and coin, demand deposits, travelers checks, and other checkable deposits. When households take money out of checking account deposits, this decreases the amount of checkable deposits, thus decreasing M1.

M2 includes all elements of M1, as well as "near money," or savings accounts and non-institutional money-market funds. The money moved into savings accounts still falls under the M2 category, so M2 does not change.
