Answer: Option D
Solution:
Gurmukhi Script is used in Punjabi language. The name 'Gurmukhi' is derived from an old Punjabi term 'Guru mukhi' which literally means 'from the mouth of the Guru'. The Gurmukhi script has 41 letters including 38 consonants and 3 basic vowel sign bearers. The Gurmukhi script, unlike the Greek and Roman alphabet, is arranged in vowels first, then in consonants (Gutturals, Palatals, Cerebrals, Dentals, Labials) and semi-vowels.
