Yanıt Açıklaması:

Starting with the Kok Turks, the Orkhon script was used by many Turks until around the tenth century. Uighurs used the Aramaeo-Syriac script (related to the Hebrew and Arabic alphabets) that they had learned from the Sogdians (Golden, 2011: 47). This script was later borrowed by the Mongolians, who still use it in Inner Mongolia, China. After becoming Muslims, Turks started using the Arabic alphabet. In modern Turkey, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan variations of the Latin script are used, whereas Kazakhs and Kyrgyz still use variations of the Cyrillic script that the Russians imposed on them during the Stalinist era.The correct answer is B.
