How do we know today that ostriches were found in India during the Palaeolithic period ?
Answer: B
We know it because large quantities of ostrich egg shells were found at Patne in Maharasthra.
NCERT's Class 6 history describes Patne in Maharashtra, where archaeologists found ostrich egg shells, some of them engraved with designs, and also ostrich-shell beads. They show that ostriches lived in India during the late Palaeolithic period, about 25,000 years ago.
The other options are impossible. There was no writing in the Palaeolithic period, so there are no written descriptions, no oral memories could have been preserved from that time, and foreign travellers came only many thousands of years later.
