Answer 1

Option A is your correct answer...........

Answer 2

They are a source of Hindu philosophy.

• A collection of religious and philosophical writings are the Upanishads.
• They were composed in Sanskrit at a time when Indian culture was beginning to doubt the authority of the ancient Vedic religion.
• They are the most recent portion of the Vedas, which are the oldest Hindu texts.
• Earlier portions of the Vedas deal with mantras, benedictions, rituals, ceremonies, and sacrifices.
• Later parts of the Vedas deal with meditation, philosophy, awareness, and ontological knowledge.
• There are 108 or so known Upanishads.
• They document a wide variety of rituals, lifetimes, and occult learning that were left over from Vedic ritualism and were then interpreted in various ways by later explanatory traditions.
