Hint:

Basic consciousness mapping:
• Cakṣu $\rightarrow$ Eye
• Ghrāṇa $\rightarrow$ Nose
• Kāya $\rightarrow$ Body
• Manas $\rightarrow$ Mind

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: According to Buddhist psychology, six kinds of consciousness arise through the interaction of sense organs and their respective objects.

Step 1: Matching Cakṣurvijñāna. Cakṣurvijñāna means visual consciousness. It arises through the eye. Therefore: \[ A \rightarrow I \]

Step 2: Matching Ghrāṇavijñāna. Ghrāṇavijñāna means olfactory consciousness. It arises through the nose. Therefore: \[ B \rightarrow IV \]

Step 3: Matching Kāyavijñāna. Kāyavijñāna means bodily or tactile consciousness. Its basis is the skin/body. Therefore: \[ C \rightarrow III \]

Step 4: Matching Manovijñāna. Manovijñāna refers to mental consciousness. Its basis is the mind (Manas). Therefore: \[ D \rightarrow II \]

Step 5: Final Conclusion. The correct matching is: \[ A-I,\ B-IV,\ C-III,\ D-II \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(3)\ A-I,\ B-IV,\ C-III,\ D-II} \]
