Answer: A
The mainstay of Neo-Hinduism was Vedanta philosophy.
The nineteenth-century reformers and Swami Vivekananda, in particular, presented Vedanta, the philosophy of the Upanishads, as the core of a revived Hinduism that stressed service and rational religion.
A Platonic ideal and Confucianism are not Indian sources of the movement, and the Rigvedic ritual religion was not its main base.
Reformers such as Raja Rammohan Roy and Swami Vivekananda drew on the Upanishads and Vedanta to argue for a monotheistic, ethical Hinduism and against practices such as sati. This reinterpretation of Hinduism is often called Neo-Hinduism, with Vedanta as its philosophical base.
