Complete Answer:
- Option A: Dinar is a currency that is used in the countries of the Middle East like, Algeria, Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Tunisia, Libya, Serbia, and North Macedonia. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
- Option B: Taka is the official currency of Bangladesh and the symbol that is most commonly used is “Tk”. It is controlled by the Central bank in Bangladesh which is Bangladesh Bank. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
- Option C: Guilder or Dutch Guilder was the official currency of the Netherlands from the 17th century to 2002, after which it was replaced by Euro. It can still be exchanged for Euros at a rate of 2.20371 Dutch Guilders for 1 Euro. Hence, this is the correct option.
- Option D: Kroner is the official currency of Norway and its dependent territories which are 3 territories in the Southern Hemisphere. The English translation of Kroner is Crown and is the 13th most traded currency in the world. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
