Answer & ExplanationAnswer: [A]
The Kharosthi script originated from Aramaic. The Kharosthi script was developed during the 3rd century BCE in the ancient region of Gandhara, which encompassed parts of present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan. The script is named after King Ashoka's governor, Kharosthi, who is believed to have played a role in its development. The Kharosthi script is derived from the Aramaic script, which was widely used in the Achaemenid Empire. It was primarily used to write the Gandhari Prakrit language and was also adopted for inscriptions and manuscripts in other languages of the region, including Sanskrit.
