Correct answer: B
Explanation
Bhutan's currency is the ngultrum, pegged at par with the Indian rupee.
The taka is Bangladesh's and the kyat is Myanmar's.
Nepal's currency is also called the rupee, which is why the rupee is a trap in any question about the neighbours rather than about Bhutan in particular.
Worth noting
Four of India's neighbours have four different currencies with names that get mixed up. Ngultrum for Bhutan, taka for Bangladesh, kyat for Myanmar, rufiyaa for the Maldives.
