Answer to Question 1

They are different. Both increase the reserves at the bank by 1 million, but the bank does not have to hold required reserves against the discount loan because it is not a deposit. The entire 1 million of the discount loan is excess reserves, which the bank can loan out.

Answer to Question 2

C
