Solution
The correct option is C Aryans
It is now widely accepted that the Indian subcontinent began to be infiltrated from about 1500 BC by people speaking an Indo-European language, later to be called Sanskrit. It was closely associated with the ancient language of the people of the Iranian plateau, as evidenced from the ancient Zoroastrian text named 'Avesta'. They called themselves as the Aryans. The Indo-Aryan newcomers came from Central Asia, did not come into the Indian subcontinent all at once, nor did they settle in a single place.
