............. Dravyas (substances) are advocated by Vais'eṣika.
Answer: C
The Vaiśeṣika system advocates 9 substances.
They are earth, water, fire and air (made of atoms), and ākāśa (ether), time (kāla), space (dik), self (ātman) and mind (manas). Substance (dravya) is the first of the Vaiśeṣika categories, the substratum of qualities and actions.
Six is the number of categories (padārthas) in Kaṇāda's original scheme (substance, quality, action, universal, particularity and inherence), to which later writers added non-existence as a seventh. Neither 3 nor 10 is a Vaiśeṣika count of substances.
