D Correct answer
Explanation

Buddhist literature was primarily written in Pali, which was the language of the common people during Buddha's time. The Pali Canon (Tipitaka) contains the teachings of Buddha. Sanskrit, Hindi, and Urdu are incorrect - Sanskrit was used for later Buddhist texts but not the primary canon, while Hindi and Urdu did not exist in Buddha's time.
