Correct answer: (A) Induction — This is Nyaya's response to the problem of induction, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★This is Nyaya's response to the problem of induction, so that is the answer.
★Induction faces the problem of moving from particular cases to a universal law.
★Nyaya holds that a universal (samanya) is perceived through its instances.
★This grounds the invariable relation (vyapti) needed for generalisation.
★So it addresses how induction can be justified.
★So the answer is induction.
