Option 1 : A and B only

The correct answer is A and B only

A famous Tamil epic, the Silappadikaram, was composed by a poet named Ilango, around 1800 years ago.
It is considered to be the brightest gem of early Tamil literature.
It is the story of a merchant named Kovalan, who lived in Puhar and fell in love with a courtesan named Madhavi, neglecting his wife Kannagi.
Later, he and Kannagi left Puhar and went to Madurai, where he was wrongly accused of theft by the court jeweller of the Pandya king.
The king sentenced Kovalan to death.
Kannagi, who still loved him, was full of grief and anger at this injustice, and destroyed the entire city of Madurai.

Thus, we can conclude that the following statements about the famous epic Silapadikaram are correct:

A. It was composed by Ilango.

B. It was composed in Tamil language.

Another Tamil epic, the Manimekalai was composed by Sattanar around 1400 years ago.
This describes the story of the daughter of Kovalan and Madhavi.
This epic is of more religious than literary interest.
