Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A (Pre-Aryan)

मूर्ति पूजा का प्रारंभ पूर्व आर्य काल से माना जाता है। सैंधव सभ्यता में मूर्ति पूजा प्रचलित थी, इसके उदाहरण अनेक सैंधव पुरास्थलों से प्राप्त मातृ देवी की मृण्मूर्तियां तथा मुहरों पर प्राप्त चित्र हैं।

The pre-Aryan period is considered as the beginning of idol worship. Idol worship was prevalent in Indus Civilization and it is evident from the coins discovered from Mohenjodaro having the seal of God. They probably worshipped Mother Goddess in addition to male and female deities.
