The correct option is C Tsekai
Punjab was not always known as Punjab. It had multiple names in the past like the Greeks named it as Pentopotamia. Hieun Tsang, the Chinese traveller named it as Tsekai. Punjab acquired its current name only after the invasion of Turks that resulted in the influence of the Persian language.
