Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
According to Uniform Commercial Code Section 3-104(a),negotiable instruments must promise or order payment to be made in a national currency.For example,U.S.dollars,English pounds,euros,and Japanese yen all satisfy the currency requirement.Gold is not currency,and although a promise to pay in gold may form a perfectly enforceable contract,the resulting instrument is not a negotiable instrument.
