Answer: discriminatory rates of interest on certain advances
Notes: The correct answer is "discriminatory rates of interest on certain advances." This is not a quantitative measure because it does not directly control the money supply or credit availability. Quantitative measures, like varying the cash reserve ratio (CRR) and the sale or purchase of government securities, directly influence the amount of funds banks can lend. Discriminatory interest rates are qualitative, affecting specific borrowers rather than the overall credit environment.
