• C. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
• D. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

Hint:

Nyaya-Vaisheshika is linked with atoms, Ramanuja with Brahma-Parinamavada, and Shankara with Brahma-Vivartavada.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
Indian philosophical schools explain causation in different ways. The relation between cause and effect is a major topic in Indian metaphysics.

Step 1: Match Jainism.
Jainism is associated with Sadasatkaryavada. It holds a complex view in which an effect may be understood through both being and non-being in different respects. So: \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Match Nyaya-Vaisheshika.
Nyaya-Vaisheshika accepts eternal atoms as material causes. So, it is connected with: \[ \text{Nitya paramanu karanavada} \] Thus: \[ B \rightarrow I \]

Step 3: Match Ramanuja.
Ramanuja's Vishishtadvaita accepts Brahman as the real cause of the world. The world is a real transformation of Brahman. So: \[ C \rightarrow IV \]

Step 4: Match Shankara.
Shankara's Advaita Vedanta explains the world as apparent manifestation. This is known as: \[ \text{Brahma Vivartavada} \] So: \[ D \rightarrow II \]

Step 5: Final matching.
The correct matching is: \[ A-III,\ B-I,\ C-IV,\ D-II \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(A)}} \]
