Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B (Shaktism)
'कालिका पुराण' शाक्त धर्म से संबंधित है। कालिका पुराण को 'काली पुराण या सती पुराण' भी कहा जाता था। यह हिंदू धर्म की शाक्तवाद परंपरा में प्रमुख उप-पुराणों में से एक है।
The Kalika Purana also called the Kali Purana or Sati Purana is one of the main upapurana in the Shaktism tradition of Hinduism. The text was likely composed in the Assam region of India. The text is attributed to sage Markendeya and starts off with the legends of Devi trying to bring Shiva back from ascetic life into householder's life by making him fall in love again.
