Correct answer and explanation
Correct answer: Circulation of Currency
Explanation: ā Correct Answer: C) Circulation of Currency š Explanation: Gresham's Law is a monetary principle which states that "bad money drives out good money" from circulation.

Consequently, only the money with lower intrinsic value (bad money) remains in daily use.
