Hint:

Vaisheshika Darshana classifies reality into Padarthas such as Dravya, Guna, Karma, and Samavaya.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Vaisheshika philosophy accepts nine dravyas (substances).
Step 2: Prithivi, Jala, Teja, and Akasha are accepted as dravyas.
Step 3: Samavaya is not a substance; it is a category representing inherence relation. \[ \boxed{\text{Samavaya is not Dravya}} \]
