Ha! Imagine a central bank being like, 'Yeah, we just want to make sure you guys aren't making too much money over there.' Definitely not the reason.

I'd go with Option C as the correct answer. Central banks are more concerned with financial stability, not commercial bank profits.

Option C seems like a strange one. Regulating the profits of commercial banks? I don't think that's a primary reason for central bank reserve requirements.
