Solution

The correct option is C Romans
The people in Sangam age traded overseas with the Romans. Pliny the Elder, a Roman writer mentioned that Muziri was the first emporium of India. There was also a temple dedicated to Augustus, the first Roman emperor in Muziris. This suggested that there was a lot of trade between the Romans and the ancient Tamils.
