From July '2' to June '16' it is almost one year. In this duration repo rate and reverse repo rate is going to increase continuously Wherever CRR is fixed. This only happens to control the inflation in the market. So whenever the central bank resists the policy rate, it is a way to suck out liquidity from the system. Normally this is due to the central bank expectation of rising inflation. Hence a continuously rising repo rate indicates an anti-inflationary stance.
∴ Option 4 is correct
