alleryIndia's independence year, 1947 CE, can also be written in which way?
A1947 BC
B1947 BCE
C1947 AD

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 1947 AD
1. Recall the idea: How Is Time Measured in History?.
2. The source says: "1947, the year India gained independence".
3. 1947 AD is correct. BC and BCE count years before the start of the era, so they cannot be used for 1947.
