With which of the following did the Vedanta schools have a special affiliation?

Vedanta is specially affiliated with both the authority of shruti and the Mimamsa.

It treats shruti, that which is heard, as the supreme source of knowledge.

Vedanta is literally the culmination of the Vedas, resting on their revealed word.

It also continues the Mimamsa project of interpreting the sacred texts.

While Purva-Mimamsa studies ritual, Vedanta as Uttara-Mimamsa studies knowledge.

Both the scriptural authority and the interpretive enquiry define its affiliation.
