Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

M1 is the most liquid monetary aggregate.

M1 consists of:

M1 = Currency with the public + Demand deposits + Other deposits with the RBI

Therefore,

M1 = currency in circulation + checkable deposits

    = $4 + $6

    = $10

M2 is broader measure of money supply that includes the saving also.

M2 consists of:

M2 = M1 + Savings deposits + small-denominated time deposits + money market mutual fund deposits

     = $10 + $200 + $30 + $40

     = $280
