The theory of error known as Akhyativada in Indian Philosophy is presented by
Answer: B
The theory of error called akhyativada is presented by the Mimamsa (the Prabhakara school), so the answer is B.
Akhyati means 'non-apprehension'. According to it, error arises because two cognitions, the perception of what is before the eyes and the memory of the thing that is remembered, are not distinguished, so the error is a lack of discrimination and not a positive false cognition.
Advaita Vedanta (A) holds anirvacaniyakhyati, in which the object of illusion is indefinable as real or unreal, Samkhya (C) holds sadasatkhyati, and Nyaya (D) holds anyathakhyati, so none of these presents akhyativada.
