Since Kharosti is believed to have come to India from Iran (source ashokan pillar inscription), how it is related to Greece?

So what is the right answer?

I agree with @Utkarsh. It is less ambiguous or controversial because Ashokan scripts are generally in the local scripts and kharoshthi script was used widely in northwestern India, in the region near Peshawar which was derived from Aramaic used in Iran.

The Kharosthi script is an ancient script used by the ancient Gandhara culture of South Asia primarily in modern-day Afghanistan and Pakistan to write the Gandhari language (a dialect of Prakrit) and the Sanskrit language.

A is the Correct Answer!

The Kharosthi script is an ancient Indic script used by the Gandhara culture of ancient Northwest India (primarily modern-day Afghanistan, Pakistan and North India.

Answer C is correct.

It is believe that Kharoshti was used during the late-3rd century BC (In Afghanistan, Pakistan and North India), that is south Asia. During that period The Indo-Greek Kingdom or Graeco-Indian Kingdom was established over there.

Graeco-Bactrian king Demetrius invaded the subcontinent early in the 2nd century BC and followed by Alexander the great. Hence, Kharoshiti relates India's contact wih Greece.

Iran is the correct answer.

Darius I invaded India before Alexander. Darius was a ruler of Iran and his invasion brought Kharosthi script in India. Greeks invaded after that.

Why Greece is the right answer?

Please give more information about Kharoshti.
