Correct answer: (B) The condemnation of Ajivikas — The condemnation of the Ajivikas does not form part of the Gita, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The condemnation of the Ajivikas does not form part of the Gita, so that is the answer.
★The Bhagavad Gita does not attack the Ajivika sect anywhere.
★So this idea is out of place in the text.
★The Gita gives a strong emphasis to bhakti, or loving devotion to God.
★It teaches that the Atman, the inner self, is imperishable and eternal.
★It stresses doing one's duty as karma without attachment to the fruit.
