Correct Answer: Deposit rate


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Deposit rate. 

The interest rate offered by banks on deposits is commonly referred to as the deposit rate. When individuals or businesses deposit their money in a bank, they may earn interest on those deposits based on the prevailing deposit rate. The deposit rate is the rate at which the bank compensates depositors for keeping their funds in the bank. It is determined by various factors, including market conditions, the bank's financial health, and the duration of the deposit. The deposit rate represents the return or interest earned by depositors on their savings or fixed-term deposits. The loan rate, on the other hand, refers to the interest rate charged by banks when they lend money to borrowers. The inflation rate measures the rate at which the general price level of goods and services in an economy is increasing. The exchange rate represents the rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another currency.
