Question
[124]. Passage: Palm-leaf and paper manuscripts decay in humidity, insects and neglect, yet they hold medical, astronomical and literary knowledge in languages few now read. Digitisation helps access, but a scanned image without cataloguing, translation and conservation of the original is a fragile substitute. Preservation needs climate-controlled storage, trained conservators, and scholars who can read scripts and contexts. When a manuscript is lost, it is not one book that vanishes but a lineage of reading, commentary and debate that cannot be reconstructed from summaries. The word 'lineage' in the passage most nearly means:
Option 1 : a line of transmission or descent through generations
