Correct Answer: Option C(रूपक)
गुप्त काल में चांदी (रजत) के सिक्कों को 'रूपक' या 'रुप्यक' कहा जाता था। सर्वप्रथम चंद्रगुप्त द्वितीय ने पश्चिमी शक-क्षत्रपों पर विजय के उपरांत रूपक प्रकार के सिक्के जारी किए थे।
Silver coinage minted in the Gupta Empire was called 'Rupaka'. Chandragupta II was the first Gupta sovereign to introduce silver Rupakas following his annexation of the Western Kshatrapa territories.
