Answer »Answer: (c)
The age of the Early Vedic period corresponds with the date of the composition of the Rig Vedic hymns. This date has been fixed between 1500 BC and 1000 BC. The later Vedic period is placed between 1000 BC and 600 BC. The original home of the Aryans is a debatable question and there are several views. Different scholars have identified different regions as the original home of the Aryans.
They include the Arctic region, Germany, Central Asia and southern Russia. However, the theory of southern Russia appears to be more probable and widely accepted by historians.
From there, the Aryans moved to different parts of Asia and Europe. They entered India in about 1500 B.C. and came to be known as Indo-Aryans. They spoke the Indo-Aryan language, Sanskrit.
