    Hindi

    C.

    D.

    Urdu

    Correct option is B

    Hindi is a descendant of Sanskrit, which belongs to the Indo-Aryan group of languages. Over centuries, it has absorbed elements from Dravidian, Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Portuguese, and English due to cultural, political, and historical interactions, including the influence of Islamic rule, the Mughal Empire, and British colonization.

    Information Booster:

    • Sanskrit Roots: Hindi evolved from Prakrit, which itself evolved from Sanskrit.
    • Historical Influences: Arabic, Persian, and Turkish have had a significant impact on Hindi due to Islamic influence in India, especially during the Mughal period.
    • Modern Influences: English influence increased during British colonial rule, and Portuguese influence came during early trade interactions. Dravidian languages influenced Hindi, particularly in southern India.
