With reference to the history of India, the terms "kulyavapa" and "dronavapa" denote
A
measurement of land
Correct Answer
B
coins of different monetary value
C
classification of urban land
D
religious rituals
Explanation
In ancient Indian history, particularly during the Gupta period, **kulyavapa** and **dronavapa** were units used for the **measurement of land** based on the quantity of seeds required to sow a specific area. While these terms involve weights (a *kulya* or *drona* of grain), they do not denote coins or monetary value, which is a common point of confusion for aspirants. The core concept being tested is the land administration and agricultural revenue systems of ancient India.
