B Correct answer
Explanation

The Kushans (c. 1st-3rd century CE) were the first to issue gold coins (dinars) on a large scale in India. Under rulers like Kanishka, these coins featured the king and various deities. The Aryans used barter, the Tatars were Central Asian nomads not associated with Indian coinage, and the Mughals issued gold coins much later (the mohur).
