Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B(दाम)
मुगल शासन में तांबे का प्रमुख मानक सिक्का 'दाम' कहलाता था (इसे 'पैसा' भी कहा जाता था)। यह लगभग 380 ग्रेन का होता था। चांदी का सिक्का 'रुपया' (178 ग्रेन) और सोने का सिक्का 'मुहर' कहलाता था। सामान्यतः 1 रुपया 40 दाम के बराबर माना जाता था।
In Mughal currency, the standard copper coin was called the 'Dam' (also known as Paisa), weighing approximately 380 grains. The silver coin was the Rupiya (178 grains) and the gold coin was the Mohur. One silver Rupee was officially valued at 40 copper Dams.
