B. Sravana
C. Svādhyāya
D. Nididhyāsana
E. Iśvara-pranidhāna
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
In the opening verse of the Sadhana Pada of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras (Sutra 2.1: Tapah-svādhyāyēśvarapranidhānāni kriyā-yogah), Kriya-yoga is defined as comprising three essential requisites: Tapah (austerity/self-discipline, A), Svādhyāya (self-study and study of scriptures, C), and Iśvara-pranidhāna (devotion/surrender to the supreme Lord, E). Sravana (B) and Nididhyāsana (D) belong instead to the Vedantic triad of Jnana-yoga alongside Manana. Therefore, A, C and E only is correct.
