i would think its A. my reasoning being:
reducing the overnight interest rate allows funds to be borrowed cheaper…and is considered a stimulant…in an already growing economy further policy to promote growth and borrowing will ultimately lead to inflation
let me know if im right

From the Federal Reserve website: A higher discount rate can indicate a more restrictive policy, while a lower rate may be used to signal a more expansive policy.

I thought you increase rates when the economy is over heating? But assuming the question really means decreasing rates, most likely the answer is A here.

yeah this is drilled in by schweser/andy holmes during the lectures and showing the graphs..the idea of overheating and continuing to overheat regardless of the current situation..holmes uses the example of some politicians promoting doing this leading up to elections when it is unnecessary because they want to continue unsustainable growth, which eventually just leads to an inflationary environment..its not so much of a bad question/counter intuitiveness as much as just trying to make sure u get that u cant just keep pushing growth without any consequences
