AThe authority of shruti, that which is heard
BThe Mimamsa, the enquiry after interpreting the sacred texts
CBoth the authority of shruti and the Mimamsa ✓ Correct
DNone of the above
Correct answer: (C) Both the authority of shruti and the Mimamsa — Vedanta was affiliated with both the authority of shruti and the Mimamsa, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Vedanta was affiliated with both the authority of shruti and the Mimamsa, so that is the answer.
★Vedanta rests firmly on shruti, the revealed Vedic texts.
★It also continues the Mimamsa tradition of interpreting the sacred texts.
★In fact Vedanta is called Uttara-Mimamsa, the later Mimamsa.
★So it is tied to both shruti-authority and the Mimamsa enquiry.
★So the answer is both.
