The correct answer is option 4, Gonds. A large continent of ancient geological history of the world has been named after the Gonds tribe of India. The Gondwana land, also known as Gondwanaland, was a supercontinent that existed from about 550 to 180 million years ago. It included the present-day continents of South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, the Indian subcontinent, and the Arabian Peninsula. The name "Gondwana" was coined by Eduard Suess, an Austrian geologist, who named it after the Gond tribe of central India. The Gonds are one of the largest tribal groups in India and have a rich cultural history. The Gondwana land holds significant importance in the study of the Earth`s geological history.
