SELECT CORRECT OPTION:
A
Palatal
तालव्य
B
Labio-dental (Dantoshthya)
दन्तोष्ठ्य
Correct
C
Labial
ओष्ठ्य
D
Retroflex
मूर्धन्य
Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B (Labio-dental (Dantoshthya))

विकल्प (B) सही है क्योंकि 'वकारस्य दन्तोष्ठम्' सूत्र के अनुसार 'व' का उच्चारण ऊपर के दाँत और निचले होंठ के मिलने से होता है, अतः यह 'दन्तोष्ठ्य' वर्ण है। विकल्प (A), (C) और (D) गलत हैं।

Option (B) is correct because 'Va' is articulated by engaging the upper incisors with the lower lip, designating it as labio-dental (Dantoshthya). Options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect places.
