If Kāraṇa is inseparably connected with the effect, then the Kāraṇa is called ..............
Answer: A
The cause inseparably connected with its effect is the Samavāyi Kāraṇa (inherent cause).
In Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika the inherent or material cause is the substance in which the effect inheres by samavāya, the inseparable relation: the threads are the samavāyi kāraṇa of the cloth, which exists in them.
The asamavāyi (non-inherent) cause is a quality or action that inheres in the material cause and helps produce the effect, such as the conjunction of the threads. The nimitta (efficient) cause is external, such as the weaver and the loom. 'Pratiyogi' (counter-positive) belongs to the theory of absence, not to the kinds of cause.
