B
Correct answer
Explanation
This question is grammatically incomplete but likely refers to the second most spoken language in India. Hindi is first, Bengali is second. Telugu and Marathi have fewer speakers. The question should specify context (India or worldwide).
AI explanation
Among Indian languages by number of native speakers, Bengali ranks second after Hindi, owing to its large speaker base in West Bengal, other parts of India, and its status as the official language of Bangladesh (which boosts its overall count globally). Telugu and Marathi have substantial speaker populations too but fall below Bengali's numbers.
