Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B(दीनार)
गुप्तकालीन अभिलेखों में स्वर्ण मुद्रा को 'दीनार' (Dinar) कहा गया है, जो लैटिन शब्द 'डेनारियस' (Denarius) से व्युत्पन्न है। इसके अतिरिक्त दैनिक स्थानीय विनिमय में कौड़ियों का प्रयोग होता था और चांदी के सिक्कों को 'रूपक' कहा जाता था।
In Gupta epigraphy and contemporary literature, the standard imperial gold coin is designated as 'Dinara' (derived etymologically from the Roman Denarius). In day-to-day market transactions, cowrie shells were used for petty trade, while silver issues were called 'Rupaka'.
