Final answer:

The twentieth-century composer in France from India referred to in the question does not match any of the options given. The Vedas are the hymns brought to India by the Aryans. Igor Stravinsky, a Russian composer, was known for The Rite of Spring which scandalized the early 20th-century audience.

Step-by-step explanation:

The composer from India who worked in France during the twentieth century was Olivier Messiaen. None of the Indian options provided, namely Ravi Shankar, Zakir Hussain, or A.R. Rahman, fit this description. Ravi Shankar was an Indian sitar virtuoso and composer, Zakir Hussain is a renowned tabla player, and A.R. Rahman is a famous composer and musician, but none of them are French or were active composing in France during the bulk of the twentieth century.

Regarding the separate question about the hymns the Aryans brought to India, the answer is c. Vedas. The Vedas are a large body of religious texts originating in ancient India. Composed in Vedic Sanskrit, the texts constitute the oldest layer of Sanskrit literature and the oldest scriptures of Hinduism.
