D

उपनिषद
Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A (Bhagavata)

उपनिषद, ब्रह्मसूत्र और भगवद्‌गीता को वेदांत की 'प्रस्थानत्रयी' कहा जाता है; क्योंकि ये वेदांत के सर्वप्रमुख ग्रंथ हैं। इनमें भी उपनिषद मूल प्रस्थान है और शेष दो उन पर आधारित माने जाते हैं। वेदांत के आचार्यों में, जिन्होंने ब्रह्मसूत्र पर भाष्य लिखकर, अपने-अपने वेदांत संप्रदायों की प्रतिष्ठा की है, उनमें आदि शंकराचार्य सबसे प्राचीन हैं।

Upanishad, Brahmasutra and Bhagavad Gita are said to be the ‘Prasthantrayi’ of Vedanta because these are the major epics of Vedanta. Among them, the Upanishad is the Prime Prasthan and the remaining two are known to be based on it. Shankaracharya is the oldest among all of Vedanta Acharyas who established their Vedanta sects by writing the commentaries on ‘Brahmasutra.’
