Answer:

D.They were invented in India and brought to Europe by Arabs

Step-by-step explanation:

Arabic numerals are called that because the European

interpretation of those numbers comes from the Arabs. The numerals

are called Arabic numerals (even though they do not resemble modern

Arabic numerals in the slightest) to distinguish them from Roman

numerals.

I know this because I'm Arab,hope this helped!
