Which of the following statements are true ?
A. 'Veda' is not the name of any particular book
B. The hymns of Rig Veda are composed in the praise of God
C. Vedic teachings belong to the 'Karma Marga'.
D. Upanishads are also called 'Vedanta'.
E. 'Vedanta' is the last part of Yajurveda.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Statements A, B, C, and D are true: 'Veda' denotes a vast body of sacred revealed literature rather than a single book (A); Rig Vedic hymns praise cosmic deities/God (B); early Vedic ritualism belongs to the 'Karma Marga' (C); and the Upanishads are called 'Vedanta' as the culmination of all four Vedas (D)—not merely the last part of the Yajurveda (making E false). Thus 'A, B, C & D Only' is correct.
