Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option D (In the inscription of King Jayabhata)

<p>विकल्प (D) सही है क्योंकि देवनागरी लिपि का प्रथम ज्ञात ऐतिहासिक साक्ष्य गुजरात के राजा जयभट्ट (लगभग 7वीं-8वीं सदी ई.) के ताम्रपत्र/शिलालेख में मिलता है। विकल्प (A), (B) और (C) में देवनागरी का सर्वप्रथम प्रयोग नहीं हुआ था。</p>
