Solution

The correct option is C 2500
The origins of all the classical languages are really old and unclear. Tamil language is older than 1st century BC when "Tolkappiyam"-one of the world's oldest works on grammar was written. Hence, it makes the present Tamil language nothing less than 2500 years.
