The Iranian scribes brought into India a form of writing which came to be known as the " Kharosthi".there time period 588-500BC, but Greece ruler Alexander comes India in 326BC.

Then, how the ans is "Greece?

It should be Iran as Kharoshti was formed after the invasion by Achaemenid empire of India.

Greece contact with India in the use of Kharoshti architecture.

No, the use of the Kharosthi script in ancient India is not due to contact with Greece, but rather due to contact with Persia (Iran).

However, Greek influence in India did lead to:

Greek-style art (e.g., Gandhara School of Art)
Greek script influence on coins and inscriptions during Indo-Greek rule
Spread of Hellenistic culture after Alexander the Great’s invasion
But the Kharosthi script specifically came from Aramaic, which was used in the Persian Empire, not Greek.
