Answer: Shoes

Option d is the correct answer In medieval India, Panahi and upanah were footwear types. In the past, wearers were rugged for soldiers; upanah, cloths, and shittles were lighter and worn by civilians. Both displayed status, panahi adorned with metal studs denoting rank, while upanah was simpler. Both genders wore them, contributing to functional use and social distinction.
