CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Gujarati has its own script, related to Devanagari but distinct, and written without the connecting headline.
Marathi, Nepali and Konkani are all written in Devanagari.
The missing headline across the top of the letters is the quickest way to tell Gujarati apart.
Worth noting
Konkani is also written in the Roman and Kannada scripts depending on the community, so a single language can use more than one.
