The correct answer is D) Used for regulating consumption.
Money performs three main functions: acting as a medium of exchange (intermediate in the exchange process), a unit of account (measuring value), and a store of value (holding wealth). Regulating consumption is not a fundamental function of money itself, although the availability of money, prices, and economic policies can influence consumption patterns.
