Knowledge arising out of the senseobject contact is known as

  • A.Experience
  • B.Inference
  • C.Perception
  • D.Testimony

Answer: C

Knowledge arising out of the contact of a sense with its object is perception, so the answer is C.

This is the traditional definition of pratyaksa in Nyaya: knowledge produced by the contact of a sense organ with an object. The word 'perception' is the English rendering of it.

Experience (A) is a wider word that covers every kind of awareness. Inference (B) comes from a mark and testimony (D) from words, so neither arises from the contact of a sense with an object.
