• A. Rigveda
• B. Mundaka Upanishad
• C. Bhagavad Gita
• D. Atharvaveda

Hint:

National Motto of India: \[ \text{Satyameva Jayate} \] Source: \[ \text{Mundaka Upanishad} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

“Satyameva Jayate” means \[ \text{Truth Alone Triumphs} \] This famous phrase is taken from the Mundaka Upanishad, one of the principal Upanishads of ancient Indian literature. The complete verse is: \[ \text{Satyameva Jayate Nanritam} \] which conveys that truth alone ultimately prevails over falsehood. The phrase was adopted as the national motto of India and appears below the State Emblem of India. Therefore, \[ \boxed{\text{Mundaka Upanishad}} \] is the correct answer. Hence, \[ \boxed{(B)} \]
