Answer: C
Notes:

Quotas are the IMF’s main source of financing. Each member of the IMF is assigned a quota, based broadly on its relative position in the world economy. 

  • The New Arrangements to Borrow (NAB) constitutes a second line of defense to supplement IMF resources to forestall or cope with an impairment of the international monetary system. 
  • Bilateral Borrowing Agreements serve as a third line of defense after quotas and the NAB.
