    A)  Satamana                    

    B)  Nishka

    C)  Dramma                      

    D)  Dinara

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Dranima coin name occurs in the Pratihara inscriptions. Mihira Bhoja I?s epithet was Srimad - Adivaraha (the fortunate primeval boar incarnation of Vishnu) and therefore there is a broad agreement amongst the scholars on the attribution of Adivaraha dramma billon coins to him. These coins have a depiction of Adivaraha on the obverse.
