Respuesta :

Answer:

D

Explanation:

When interest rate is above the equilibrium level, people would be less willing to hold cash. Instead they would prefer to save or invest in  interest-bearing bonds. This is because as a result of the higher interest rate, interest paid on their deposit and investment would be higher.

As a result of the increase in savings, there would be an increase in the supply of loanable funds over demand for loanable funds. This would lead to a reduction in interest rate until equilibrium interest rate is reached.
