This sentence correctly expresses the amount of money the speaker had, which is 29 cents. Option A is incorrect because it does not specify the unit of measurement for the number 29. Option B is also incorrect because it implies that the speaker only had 29 dollars, which is a significantly larger amount than what is likely intended.
