Answer 1

Hint - The stitch was a silver coin. The tankha was equal to 48 Julietes. Shashagini was a silver coin equivalent to 6 julis. The Jeetle was a copper coin. In Berar, southern India, the value of tankha was higher than that of tankha in Delhi. In many areas, local people also mentioned currency as a stitch under Mughal rule.

Complete Step by step answer -
 The history of currency known as taka history refers to taka, tanka, tanga, tangka, tanga and tenga in many countries. The origin of the word is not clear. The currency is used in Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. It was also used in Tibet (now part of China) and Arakan (now part of Myanmar).
Tenga is derived from the Sanskrit word tanka a .alternatively from the Turkish word Tamga or tamgha "stamp, seal". Many Ottoman-speaking regions of Central Asia were once centers of Indo-Iranian languages.
The royal stitch was officially introduced in 1329 by the monetary reforms of Emperor Muhammad bin Tughluq of the Delhi Sultanate. It was formulated as representative money, a concept pioneered by the Mongols in China and Persia as paper money. Stitches were molded in copper and brass. Its value was exchanged with reserves of gold and silver in the royal treasury. The currency was introduced due to lack of metals. Over time, the tanka was molded into silver. However, anarchy followed its trajectory in the 14th century, leading to the downfall of the Tughlaq dynasty. The Tughlaqs were succeeded by several regional states including the Bengal Sultanate, Jaunpur Sultanate, Malwa Sultanate, Berar Sultanate, Sindh Sultanate, Bidar Sultanate, Ahmednagar Sultanate, Bahmani Sultanate and Gujarat Sultanate. The mining of new currency continued. In Berar, southern India, the value of tankha was higher than that of tankha in Delhi. In many areas, local people also mentioned currency as a stitch under the Mughal rule.
Bengal became the stronghold of Tankha. The word Tanka evolved into the Bengali word Taka. Bengali is called any money. Sovereignty was the most important symbol of sovereignty for the Sultan of Bengal. The Sultanate of Bengal established at least 27 minutes in the provincial capitals throughout the state. Bengali Tak enjoyed a greater supply of silver than the Asian and European states. In 1338, Ibn Battuta observed that in Bengal people tend to say their currency instead of the dinar as it was done in other Muslim states. According to the travelogue of Admiral Zheng Hema Huan in 1815, the use of the silver fleet was also seen in Bengal.
The tanka spread to Odisha on the west coast of the Bay of Bengal. Epigraphic records use terms such as vangi-tanka (alloy silver) and sasukani-tanka. In the north of Bengal, in the 17th century, in the rich Himalayan Kathmandu Valley, the Tankha standard was adopted as the coin of Nepal. It was built in the currency of Delhi, Bengal and the Mughal Empire.

So option A is the correct answer.

Note - The Nepali tankha was a debit silver coin in 10 grams. It was introduced by King Indra Simha. During the 20th century, when East Pakistan and West Pakistan were in a union, the Pakistani rupee had bilingual inscriptions using both Bengali script and Urdu. The currency in East Pakistan was called Rupee in West Pakistan. After the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, Bangladesh became the official currency of Bangladeshi Taka. The Indian rupee is also colloquially called Taka in the Indian state of West Bengal.
