The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Indo Indo-European language.

 

The Rigveda is the earliest known specimen of the Indo-European language family. Composed in ancient Sanskrit around 1500–1200 BCE, it is one of the oldest religious texts in the world. The Rigveda consists of hymns dedicated to various Vedic deities and reflects the early culture, beliefs, and practices of the Vedic civilisation. As part of the Indo-European linguistic group, its language shares roots with many modern languages of Europe and Asia. This makes the Rigveda a crucial source for historical, cultural, and linguistic studies of early Indo-European societies.
