Answer 1

The correct option is C <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> the Apabhramsha languages

It is believed that most of the languages in the region from North India up to Maharashtra are derived from Prakrit and Sanskrit. In the process of the development of modern languages like Marathi from the Prakrit languages (Paishachi, Shauraseni, Magadhi, and Maharashtri), their original forms changed. They are called Apabhramsha languages. Modern languages have developed from Apabhramsha languages.
