Which of the following statements is true ?
Answer: B
The true statement is Prabhākara does not accept Anupalabdhi but Kumārila does.
The two schools of Purva Mimamsa differ on the number of pramanas. Kumarila Bhatta accepts six: perception, inference, comparison, testimony, postulation (arthapatti) and non-cognition (anupalabdhi), the means by which we know the absence of a thing. Prabhakara accepts only five, rejecting anupalabdhi on the ground that absence is known by perception of the bare locus.
So it is false that both reject anupalabdhi or both accept it, and Prabhakara plainly accepts five pramanas, so he does not reject them all.
