Yes, I think your answer is correct. However, scholars don't completely agree on the origins since the first Indo-European languages weren't written down -- so no historical record exists of them.
thank you ms.sue :}
You're welcome, Laura.
The Indo-European parent language was first spoken by a prehistoric people in Southastern Europe. To arrive at this answer, one can analyze the historical and linguistic evidence surrounding the origin of the Indo-European language family.
The Indo-European language family includes several major branches, such as Celtic, Germanic, Romance, Slavic, and Indo-Aryan (among others). The existence of these related languages suggests a common ancestral language from which they all originated.
Archaeological evidence and historical linguistics studies point to the Pontic-Caspian steppe region, which stretches from present-day Ukraine to Kazakhstan, as the homeland of the Proto-Indo-Europeans. This region is located in Southeastern Europe.
Scholars have traced the migration patterns and linguistic changes of the Indo-European people from this region. The spread of the Indo-European languages across Europe, Asia, and parts of the Middle East can be traced back to these ancient societies.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) Southeastern Europe.
