Yoga originated in ancient India over 5000 years ago, with roots in Vedic traditions. The 500-year estimate (A) is far too recent, while options B and D (10 and 20 years) are implausibly short for a practice with documented ancient origins.
Yoga's origins are commonly dated to ancient India, with widely cited popular estimates placing its roots at around 5,000 years old, tracing back to pre-Vedic and Indus Valley civilization practices referenced in texts like the Rigveda. This is the figure most trivia and cultural sources quote (even though precise dating is debated among historians, with some estimates varying). Among the given options, '5000 Years Old' matches the conventional trivia answer, while 10, 20, and 500 years are far too recent to describe yoga's ancient origins.
