The Correct Option is A, B, C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Identifying right-to-left (RTL) writing systems. 
Languages with RTL scripts often use abjads (consonant-based scripts), like:
Arabic (Arabic script)
Hebrew (Hebrew script)
Aramaic (ancestor to many Semitic scripts)
Step 2: Evaluating Amharic. 
Amharic uses the Ge'ez script, which is written left to right, unlike some other Semitic scripts that are written right to left. 
Step 3: Evaluating the options. 
(A) Arabic: Right to left 
(B) Hebrew: Right to left 
(C) Aramaic: Right to left 
(D) Amharic: Left to right
