B Correct answer
Explanation

Correct. Though the word ‘one’ begins with a vowel (o), the article used before it is ‘a’ and not ‘an’ because the word begins with a consonant sound (w sound). So, the correct answer is – ‘a one rupee coin’. Since the word ‘beggar’ begins with a consonant sound (b sound), the correct option is ‘a beggar’.
