  • B.Egypt
  • C.China
  • D.India

Answer: C

Paper was invented in China.

Chinese tradition credits Cai Lun, a court official of the Han dynasty, with making paper from bark, hemp, rags and fishing nets around 105 CE, though simpler papers existed earlier in China. The technique spread to the Islamic world in the eighth century and from there to Europe.

Egypt used papyrus, made from strips of reed, which is a different material. Greece and India wrote on papyrus, parchment, palm leaves and birch bark before paper reached them.
