The correct answer is Option 3: (C) and (E) only (A) "Money is what money does" — This is a correct statement. It emphasizes that the definition of money is based on the functions it performs rather than a specific physical form.

Assets like cheques, credit cards, and digital currencies can perform functions of money, even though they are not physical money.
