Question

What is Sanskrit?

A.
a Buddhist term for achieving enlightenment

B.
an ancient Indian language developed by the Indo-Aryans

C.
an epic poem that teaches the importance of Brahman

D.
a major city from the Indus Valley civilization

Answer 1

The correct option is B) an ancient Indian language developed by the Indo-Aryans

Step-by-step explanation:

Sanskrit is an old Indo- Aryan language whose history goes way back to about 3500 years. Today, it is part of the 22 official languages of India. The most ancient documents to be written in the Sanskrit language were the 'Vedas'. Due to its history, Sanskrit language has been written in many dialects. Hence, option B is correct.

All other options are false as Sanskrit is neither a poem nor a major city. It is a language.
