Question

• B. Greek

• D. German

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Sanskrit

Sanskrit belongs to the Satem group of Indo-European languages where velar plosives like /k/ changed to fricatives (/s/). For example, Indo-European 'kumtom' became 'satem' in Sanskrit. Latin, Greek, and German belong to the Centum group.
