Solution

The answer is b. not change M1 and not change M2.

Here's why:

M1 and M2 are measures of the money supply. M1 includes the most liquid forms of money, such as currency and checking deposits. M2 includes everything in M1, plus savings deposits, money market mutual funds and other time deposits.

If households decide to take money out of checking account deposits and hold it as currency, they are simply changing the form of money they hold, not the total amount of money. Therefore, M1, which includes both currency and checking deposits, does not change. Similarly, since M2 includes everything in M1, it also does not change.
