C. 200 centuries before the birth of Jesus of Nazareth

Answer 1

Hello Alyasaalnazoua!

BC = Before Christ (Jesus Christ) 

We can eliminate B because it mentions Christ's death. 
We can eliminate C because it mentions centries, 1 century is equal to 100 years.
We can eliminate D because it mentions after Christ's birth.

The answer is A because BC means before Christ and Hakim's paper is about 200 BC.

Have a great day! I hope this helps! -Wajiha
