Hint:

Ākāśa (ether/space) is the fifth Mahābhuta not listed among the given options.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1:
Pañcamahābhutas are the five great physical elements.

Step 2:
The five elements are: \[ Pṛthivī,\; Jala,\; Tejas,\; Vāyu,\; Ākāśa \]

Step 3:
Ātman is consciousness or self, not a Mahābhuta.
