Explanation

Iltutmish made two major contributions to currency: he was the first Turkish ruler to issue pure Arabic (Islamic) coins, and he introduced the silver Tanka and copper Jital as standardized currency. The Tanka became the standard coin for centuries. Option A alone is incomplete, option B alone misses the historical significance of being first, and option D is irrelevant.
