Explanation:

To determine the largest part of the Federal Reserve System, we analyze each option:

• The Federal Open Market Committee (note: typo as "Federal Free Market Committee" in the option, likely a typo for "Federal Open Market Committee") is a policy - making body with a limited number of members.
• The Branch Banks are part of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks' branch network, but not the largest component.
• Member banks and other depository institutions: The Federal Reserve System includes all member banks (commercial banks that are members) and other depository institutions that interact with the Fed. This group is the largest as it encompasses a vast number of financial institutions across the country that are part of the Fed's regulatory and operational framework.
