Correct answer: (D) Kena Upanishad — The answer is the Kena Upanishad, which is a Vedic Upanishad, not a non-Vedic one.
Explanation
★The answer is the Kena Upanishad, which is a Vedic Upanishad, not a non-Vedic one.
★The Jabala, Garbha and Subala Upanishads are counted as non-Vedic.
★The Kena belongs to the Talavakara Brahmana of the Samaveda.
★It is reckoned among the principal ten Upanishads.
★It teaches that even the gods cannot fully comprehend Brahman.
★Hence the Kena is the odd one out as it is firmly Vedic.
