Solution

The correct option is B Vattezhuthu script
Vattezhuthu script is the oldest of the available scripts in Malayalam. It was a proto-Tamil typescript which was the most prevalent script in Kerala during the Medieval period. This is mainly because a lot of official work and trade-related activities were documented in Tamil in the Medieval period. However, the script couldn't help in writing Sanskrit.
