Solution

The correct option is C Rupya
The history of the Rupee traces back to ancient Indian subcontinent. The word "rupee" is derived from a Sanskrit word "rūpya", which means "wrought silver", and maybe also something stamped with an image or a coin. As an adjective, it means "shapely", with a more specific meaning of "stamped, impressed", whence "coin".
