D Correct answer
Explanation

The Satavahana dynasty (1st century BCE - 3rd century CE) predominantly minted lead coins, though they also used copper and potin. Lead was abundant in their Deccan region. Gold coins were rare ( Kushans used gold), and silver coins came later with other dynasties. This reflects their regional economic conditions and metal availability.
