The correct answer is:
golden
A copper coin was electroplated with zinc
(Zn) and then heated at high temperature until there is a change in colour. The resulting colour will be golden. The golden colour is due to the zinc migrating through the copper to form the alpha-form of brass alloy (percentage of $\mathrm{Cu}>65 \%$ and that of $\mathrm{Zn} < $ $35 \%)$
$$
\mathrm{Zn}+\mathrm{Cu} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \text { Brass }
$$
Thus, the option (d) is correct answer.
