Which of the following is not Sādhāraṇa-dharma ?
Answer: C
The one not a sādhāraṇa-dharma is punishment.
Sādhāraṇa-dharma is the duty common to everyone, whatever their class or stage of life. Manu lists ten such virtues: steadfastness, forgiveness, self-control, non-stealing, cleanliness, control of the senses, wisdom, learning, truthfulness (veracity) and restraint of anger.
Administering punishment (daṇḍa) is the special duty of the king, part of varṇa-dharma, so it is not a common duty of all.
