(a) एवं (b) दोनों
Both (a) and (b)

D

None of the above
Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C((a) एवं (b) दोनों)
महर्षि गौतम के न्यायसूत्र में स्पष्ट रूप से कहा गया है: 'बुद्धिरुपलब्धिर्ज्ञानमित्यनर्थान्तरम्' (अर्थात् बुद्धि, उपलब्धि और ज्ञान तीनों एक ही अर्थ के वाचक/पर्यायवाची हैं)। अतः विकल्प (c) सही उत्तर है।
In Gautama's Nyaya Sutra, it is explicitly defined: 'Buddhir-upalabdhir-jnanam-ity-anarthantaram'—meaning Buddhi (cognition), Upalabdhi (apprehension), and Jnana (knowledge) are absolute synonyms designating consciousness directed toward an object. Hence, option (c) is correct.
