The correct option is C Modern
Historians have divided the Indian history into 3 phases -

2) Medieval - This period saw invasion of the Islamic dynasties. The period is dominated by the sultanates and the Mughals. Great developments took place in terms of religion, art and architecture during this period.
3) Modern - This period focuses on India's struggle against the Britishers for independence and by the end of this phase we see the formation of India as a Democratic republic.
