Among the options listed, cuneiform had the most lasting impact on the world.
Cuneiform, developed by the Sumerians around 3200 BCE, was one of the earliest systems of writing. It enabled the recording of laws, trade transactions, literature, and historical events, which greatly influenced the development of written communication and record-keeping in various cultures and civilizations that followed. Its impact on literacy, administration, literature, and culture is profound and enduring.
