Answer and explanation
Correct Answer: B: China
Explanation: China became the first country in history to use paper currency during the Tang and Song dynasties between the 7th and 11th centuries. Paper money was introduced to simplify trade and reduce the difficulty of carrying heavy metal coins. The Chinese innovation later spread to other parts of the world and transformed global economic systems and commercial activities.
