Answer:

C. Commodity money

Step-by-step explanation:

In a commodity monetary system, the value of money comes from a good that has an intrinsic value. This good can be traded among the members of a society with minimum variation. For example, the Romans used to use salt to pay their soldiers. During that time, salt was scarce and has a huge intrinsic value. They could trade certain quantities of salt for good and services.
