Expert Solution
Step 1

As we answer only three subparts and the question has more than 3 subparts, we would be answering the first three subparts only. Please resubmit the question specifying the subparts (up to 3 subparts only) you'd like to be answered.

 

Money serves the function of medium of exchange, a unit of account and a store of value.

Here, Considering the first one, which is,

A) Visa credit card:

This doesn't potentially serve as a medium of exchange because credit card doesn't hold any store of value and it is neither a medium of exchange nor a unit of account. It is actually a borrowed money which has to be returned by the cardholder and it doesn't hold any intrinsic value too. So the functions of money isn't applicable here.
