Match List I with List II and select the correct answer from the codes given below :

Codes :

Answer: A

The correct match is a-2, b-1, c-4, d-3.

Each pair marks the pramāṇas that distinguish a school's list:

(a) Pratyakṣa and anumāna: the Bauddhas accept only these two.
(b) Anumāna and śabda: Sāṅkhya accepts perception, inference and testimony.
(c) Śabda and upamāna: Nyāya adds comparison (upamāna) to the three, making four.
(d) Upamāna and anupalabdhi: the Bhāṭṭa Pūrvamīmāṁsā accepts six, including comparison and non-apprehension (anupalabdhi).

The other codes misplace these: non-apprehension as a separate pramāṇa is distinctive of Bhāṭṭa Mīmāṁsā (and Advaita), not of Nyāya or the Bauddhas.
