Solution

The correct option is A Pigeons
Pigeons had homing abilities which allowed them to travel back to their original home. Messages were tied to the legs of a pigeon. Messages were also sent through runners.
In later times, telegrams and the postal services came into use. All these methods were very slow as compared to modern methods.
