Solution

The correct option is A Zero
Arabs spread the Indian numeral system in Europe and popularised the use of ‘Zero’ in mathematics, a numeral that wasn’t used in European countries before. The numeral system that we use today that includes the digits zero to nine is called the Hindu-Arabic numerals. Hindus of India invented these numerals and Arabs popularised them throughout the world. Hence we call them as Hindu- Arabic numerals.
