Explanation

'Swarna' (gold) is originally a Sanskrit word, not from any foreign language. Sanskrit is the ancient indigenous language of India and the source of many Hindi words. Arabic, French, and Russian are all unrelated to the origin of 'swarna'. The question tests whether students recognize indigenous Sanskrit vocabulary versus loanwords.
