C. Economic growth

The Federal Reserve's primary role is conducting monetary policy—controlling interest rates and the money supply—to promote stable prices and maximum employment, which supports overall economic growth. Income distribution, poverty reduction, and individual income taxes are mainly handled through fiscal policy and other government agencies (e.g., Congress, Treasury/IRS).
