Solution

The correct option is C Kharoshti
Kharoshti is the scripts of ancient India which was written from right to left. The Kharosthi script was a writing system originally developed in present-day northern Pakistan, sometime between the 4th and 3rd century BCE. Kharosthi was employed to represent a form of Prakrit, an Indo-Aryan language. It had a wide but irregular distribution along northern Pakistan, eastern Afghanistan, northwest India, and Central Asia.
