Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B (Samaveda)

सामवेद में कुल 1875 ऋचाएं हैं, जिनमें से सामान्य मत के अनुसार 75, जबकि कुछ विद्वानों के अनुसार 99 को छोड़कर शेष सभी ऋग्वेद में भी उपलब्ध हैं। अतः सामवेद का संकलन ऋग्वेद पर आधारित है।

The Samaveda is the shortest among all the four Vedas. It is closely connected with the Rigveda. It has taken many verses from the Rigveda. The Samaveda is compiled inclusively for ritual application and all of its verses are meant to be chanted in ceremonies. Samaveda Samhita consists a total of 1875 verses. Among these except 75 or 99 verses, all of them are compiled in Rigveda.
