The correct option is A True
The world history is divided broadly into two phases-
  • Prehistory- Period before the advent of written record or writing system
  • History- Period which starts with the advent of writing
However, in the case of India another division is there between Prehistory and History. This period is known as "protohistory", as the script of India's oldest civilization, which is the Harappan civilization is still not deciphered.
