C) A is true, but R is false.
D) A is false, but R is true.
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
The Hundi system was not introduced by the European traders in India. This system, also called the hawala system, existed since the 8th century, probably between the Muslim and Arabic traders alongside the Silk Road. It was used as a protection against any form of theft. It was also probably used in the early medieval period for financing long-distance trade.
