  • Option (B) Eighteenth - The eighteenth century marked the end of the medieval period in India, as it saw the decline of the Mughal Empire and the rise of the British colonial rule.

  • Option (C) Seventh - The seventh century was still part of the ancient period in India, as it witnessed the rule of Harsha and Pulakesin II, who were considered as the last great rulers of ancient India.This is incorrect .

  • Option (D) Tenth - The tenth century was also part of the medieval period in India, as it saw the expansion of the Rajput kingdoms and the invasion of Mahmud of Ghazni, who plundered many temples and cities in northern India.This is incorrect
