B Correct answer
Explanation

Tamil is considered the oldest of the Dravidian languages with a continuous literary tradition dating back over 2,000 years. The Sangam literature (c. 300 BCE to 300 CE) represents one of the earliest bodies of literature in any Indian language. While Sanskrit is ancient, it's not in the same Dravidian family as Tamil, Telugu, and other South Indian languages.
