Bactria was the homeland of Aryan tribes who later moved south-west into Iran, South Afghanistan, North Pakistan and North-Western India around 2500-2000 BC Later it became the north province of the Persian Empire in Central Asia.(Cotterell, 59) It was in these regions, where the fertile soil of the mountainous country is surrounded by the Turanian desert, that the prophet Zarathushtra (Zoroaster) was said to have been born and gained his first adherents.

Answer: d. Central Asia

Explanation:

The majority of people in North India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the area around these countries speak the Indo-Aryan language.

Around 2000BC in what became known as the Indo-Aryan Migration, Indo-Aryan groups migrated into Iran, India and Anatolia where they precipitated a change in the languages spoken in the area.

These groups originated in Central Asia around an area in modern day Russia and Kazakhstan.
