Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) Perishability.
Perishability is NOT a characteristic of money.
Money needs to be durable, portable, divisible, and have intrinsic value to function effectively as a medium of exchange and store of value.
Perishability refers to the tendency of an item to decay or spoil over time, which is not applicable to money as it needs to maintain its value over time.
Money should have a limited supply to maintain its value as a medium of exchange and store of value.
Central banks and monetary authorities regulate the supply of money to control inflation and ensure price stability.
