• C. B, D and E only

Hint:

Vedic three debts: \[ Deva\ Rna,\ Rishi\ Rna,\ Pitra\ Rna \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:
In Vedic philosophy, human beings are said to be born with certain debts or Rnas. These debts are duties toward gods, sages and ancestors.

Step 1: Identify Deva Rna.
Deva Rna means debt toward gods. So: \[ B = \text{Correct} \]

Step 2: Identify Rishi Rna.
Rishi Rna means debt toward sages or seers. So: \[ C = \text{Correct} \]

Step 3: Identify Pitra Rna.
Pitra Rna means debt toward ancestors. So: \[ E = \text{Correct} \]

Step 4: Eliminate other options.
Matra Rna and Prakriti Rna are not counted among the standard Vedic debts in this question. So: \[ A,\ D = \text{Incorrect} \] Therefore, the correct Rnas are: \[ B,\ C,\ E \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(D) B, C and E only}} \]
