During the Vedic Period, there were eight types of marriages. Among these options, the type of marriage that can be considered a love marriage is option 2: Gandharva Vivah.

1) Brahma Vivah is a kind of marriage in which a girl`s parents willingly give her in marriage to a suitable groom.

2) Gandharva Vivah is a love marriage where the bride and groom choose each other and get married without the involvement of their parents or any rituals.

3) Daiva Vivah is when a girl is married off to a priest as a form of religious offering.

4) Arsha Vivah is a marriage where the groom gives a cow and a bull along with other gifts to the bride`s family as a form of dowry.

Therefore, the correct option that represents a love marriage during the Vedic Period is option 2: Gandharva Vivah.
