Nilkanthi Varahas and Sanganeri Varahas were ..............
Answer: C
Nilkanthi and Sanganeri varahas were gold coins bearing some symbol.
The varaha (the 'pagoda' of European records) was the standard gold coin of south India and the Deccan from Vijayanagara times. Its name comes from the boar (varaha) emblem of the Chalukyas and Vijayanagara, and varahas carried images or symbols such as deities or the boar, which is how varieties were named and recognised.
They were not silver coins, so the first two options are wrong, and the key rejects the description of them as plain coins without any symbol.
