Solution
The correct option is B manuscript
The word, 'manuscript' refers to a book, document, or piece of music written by hand rather than typed or printed. Hence, this is the most appropriate word which can fill the blank. Option B is correct.
'Biography' is an account of a person's life written by someone else. 'Inscription' is a thing inscribed, as on a monument or in a book. 'Symposium' is a conference or meeting to discuss a particular subject. Given these meanings, the words in options A, C and D cannot complete the sentence meaningfully. Hence, options A, C and D are incorrect.
