Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The wording is a bit confusing, but I'm leaning towards D) a reverse repurchase agreement. Isn't that when the broker sells securities to the state and promises to buy them back?

I think the answer is B) a repurchase agreement. The description matches the definition of a repo, where the state sells securities to the broker and agrees to buy them back later with interest.
