Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Clause (2) of the Explanation to section 178 of the BNS gives "coin" the meaning in section 2 of the Coinage Act, 2011, and includes metal used for the time being as money and stamped and issued by or under the authority of any State or Sovereign Power intended to be so used. Government stamps, currency-notes and bank-notes are named separately in section 178, so they are not coin.
