Correct:
D
Explanation
UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register includes the Rigveda manuscripts held by the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute (BORI) in Pune. These thirty Rigvedic manuscripts — comprising samhita, padapatha and commentary copies — were inscribed on the International Register in 2007, recognising their universal documentary significance and the role they play in preserving one of the earliest literary traditions of humankind [1]. Given this specific inscription of Rigvedic manuscripts in the Memory of the World list, the correct choice among the options is Rig‑Veda.
