In writing-system taxonomy, what best defines an abugida?

Options:

A system with separate letters for consonants and vowels (alphabet)
A system where each sign represents a whole syllable independently (syllabary)
A script that records only consonants, leaving most vowels unwritten (abjad)
A system where consonant letters carry an inherent vowel and other vowels are marked with diacritics (abugida)

Correct answer: A system where consonant letters carry an inherent vowel and other vowels are marked with diacritics (abugida)

Explanation: An abugida uses consonant characters with an inherent vowel and marks other vowels with diacritics; Devanagari, used for Hindi and Sanskrit, developed roughly in the 7th–9th centuries CE.
