  • A.The place that Al-Biruni came from is now called Uzbekistan.
  • B.More than a thousand years ago, he came to India.
  • C.He did not write anything about ponds in India.
  • D.He has praised the making of ponds in India.

Answer: C

The statement that is not true is that he did not write anything about ponds in India.

Al-Biruni, a scholar from Khwarazm in present-day Uzbekistan, came to India more than a thousand years ago and wrote a detailed account of the country. He was struck by the ponds and tanks built in India for storing water and praised the skill with which they were made, as NCERT's EVS book on water notes.

So he did write about ponds, and the other three statements are true.
