Solution

The correct option is B double coincidence of wants
In a barter system, goods are directly exchanged without the use of money. The parties in the barter system exchange their goods only if they want each other's goods. This is known as the double coincidence of wants. To overcome this drawback of the barter system, an intermediate good or a medium of exchange was introduced.
