Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C (Sannyasa)

छान्दोग्योपनिषद् में केवल तीन आश्रमों का उल्लेख है, जबकि सर्वप्रथम चारों आश्रमों का उल्लेख जाबालोपनिषद् में मिलता है। ये थे- (1) ब्रह्मचर्य (25 वर्ष तक) (2) गृहस्थ (25 वर्ष - 50 वर्ष) (3) वानप्रस्थ (50 वर्ष - 75 वर्ष) (4) संन्यास (75 वर्ष - 100 वर्ष)।

The four classical ashramas of human life are Brahmacharya, Grihastha, Vanaprastha, and Sannyasa (संन्यास). All four ashramas were first explicitly mentioned together in the Jabala Upanishad.
