A
Sindhu and Hindu
💡 Explanation:
The name 'Hindustan' is derived from the Persian word 'Hindu' (itself from 'Sindhu,' the Indus River) and 'Sthan' meaning place. Thus, it literally means 'Land of the Hindus' or 'Place by the Indus River.' The name evolved from Persian interactions with the civilization around the Indus River valley.
