Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option D (Guttural (Kanthya))

विकल्प (D) सही है क्योंकि 'अकुहविसर्जनीयानां कण्ठः' सूत्र के अनुसार 'अ' और 'आ' का उच्चारण कण्ठ से होता है, अतः ये कण्ठ्य स्वर हैं। विकल्प (A) इ, ई हैं। विकल्प (B) ऋ है। विकल्प (C) उ, ऊ हैं।

Option (D) is correct because 'A' and 'Aa' are articulated at the throat, making them guttural/velar vowels. Option (A) is for 'I' and 'Ee'. Option (B) is for 'Ri'. Option (C) is for 'U' and 'Oo'.
