Solution

The correct option is D money
In a barter system, the parties exchange goods only if they want each other's goods. This situation is known as the double coincidence of wants, which is one of the drawbacks of the barter system. Therefore, an intermediate good or a medium of exchange was introduced to overcome this drawback. This intermediate good or medium is commonly known as money.
