If it is given in an option that GST compensation cess is credited to CFI then should we mark it as wrong or right? As first it is kept in CFI and then later transferred to the GST Compensation Fund under Public Account.

I would say Public Account since the actual GST Compensation Fund is created under the Public Account of India. Still, the wording of the question would matter and it could be quite ambiguous depending on the question so UPSC could go for either one of them as the right answer.

@Lorelei Taper tantrum:
When govt goes for quantitative easing (QE) or expansionary fiscal policy after a crisis, it seeks to increase money supply and inflation to boost growth. But after a couple of years it is supposed to end the QE.
Govt should end QE gradually (taper it off). If it suddenly ends QE, it creates panic in the market that a restrictive policy is coming, ie. signals rising interest rates. 
This increasesbond yield, since bonds want to give their customers more money than if the customers were to place money in the bank accounts.

This triggers stock market dip/crash, since money flows from stock market to bond market. 
ie. market throws tantrums like a child.
