Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
**The reasoning** Ghana shares a western border with Nigeria, making it one of our closest neighbors. Every country has its own currency, and Ghana's official currency is the **Cedi** (specifically, the Ghanaian Cedi, abbreviated GHS). This is basic geography and current affairs knowledge that comes up in exams testing your awareness of West African countries. Just like Nigeria uses the Naira, Ghana uses the Cedi. **Why the wrong options tempt you** - **Naira** might catch you if you're rushing and thinking "West Africa" without focusing on *Ghana specifically* — that's our currency, not theirs! - **Dollar** could trick you because many African countries you hear about in news use dollars for international trade, but Ghana's *local* currency is the Cedi - **Franc** is used by our other neighbors (Benin, Niger, Chad) who are in the CFA Franc zone, but Ghana isn't part of that system **Quick takeaway** Remember the phrase: **"Ghana = Cedi, CFA neighbors = Franc"** — Ghana stands alone with its Cedi while our francophone neighbors share the Franc.
