The correct option is A Dam
The Mansabdari system was the administrative system of the Mughal Empire introduced by Akbar. The mansabdar had to maintain out of his salary a stipulated quota of horses, elephants and beasts of burden. The salary was in the form of jagir or cash.
A Dam was a small Indian copper coin introduced by Sher Shah and later standardised by the Mughal Emperors.
Jital was introduced by the Delhi Sultanate and was the lowest copper coin during Akbar.
