Solution

The correct option is A Brahmi

Prakrit inscriptions were written in Brahmi and Kharosthi scripts, which even a commoner could read and understand. The inscriptions found in the area of Pakistan and the North-Western part of the Indian Subcontinent were in the Kharoshthi script. Some were written in Greek or Aramaic.

Dozens of modern scripts used across South Asia have descended from Brahmi, making it one of the world's most influential writing traditions.

The Brahmi script is the earliest writing system developed in India after the Indus script.

In this region, hundreds of graffiti either inscribed or carved on of Brahmi being used for official communication.
