ANS. B

Fiat money is one that is declared legal tender. This includes any form of currency in circulation such as paper money or coins. Fiat money is backed by a country's government instead of a physical commodity. Fiat money is physical money—paper money and coins, while representative money is something that represents the intent to pay . Cheque is not a fiat money because it is not backed by the central bank or RBI.
