Answer: A
The earliest manuscripts were written on palm leaves.
In ancient India, manuscripts were commonly written on palm leaves, cut into strips and tied together, and on the specially prepared bark of the birch tree (bhurja) in the Himalayan region. NCERT's Class VI history book uses this as its example of manuscripts.
Writing on stone produces inscriptions, not manuscripts. Paper came into use in India much later, around the eleventh to thirteenth centuries, and wood was not the usual writing material.
