Solution

The correct answer is D. do not change; decrease.

Here's why:

When Coles pays a commission to the bank for its consulting service, the money is transferred from Coles' deposit account at the bank to the bank's own account. This means that the total amount of bank deposits in the banking system decreases because Coles' deposit account balance decreases.

However, the central bank deposit at the bank receiving the commission does not change. This is because the transaction is happening within the same bank (from Coles' account to the bank's account), so it doesn't affect the amount of money the bank has on deposit at the central bank.

So, the central bank deposit at the bank receiving the commission does not change, and the bank deposits in the banking system decrease.
