Solution

The correct option is B Shahvajgadi
The Kharosthi script is an ancient script used in ancient Gandhara and ancient India (primarily modern-day Afghanistan and Pakistan) to write the Gandhari Prakrit and Sanskrit. It was popular in Central Asia as well. Kharosthi script has been used in the inscriptions found at Shahvajgadi (in Mardan District of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan) and Manshera (in Pakistan).
