Answer: (C) Samvat is any of the various Hindu calendars. In India, there are several calendars in use. The Saka Samvat is associated with 78 A.D; Gupta Samvat with 320 A.D, and Hijri Samvat with 622 A.D. The first year of the Hijri era was the Islamic year beginning in AD 622 during which the emigration of Muhammad from Mecca to Medina, known as the Hijra, occurred.

It was introduced by Pope Gre gory XIII, after whom the calendar was named, by a decree signed on 24 February 1582.
