Option C is correct because the imposition of fines by a local authority for local purposes is explicitly excluded from the definition of a Money Bill under Article 110(2)(a) of the Constitution of India.

A Money Bill deals specifically with matters listed in Article 110(1), primarily related to government finance, taxation, and the Consolidated/Contingency Funds of India.

Article 110 lists several matters that constitute a Money Bill, including taxation (A), appropriation of moneys out of the Consolidated Fund (B), and the custody/management of the Consolidated Fund or Contingency Fund (D). Clauses in Article 110(2) clarify what does *not* constitute a Money Bill, such as the imposition of fines or penalties by local authorities.
