The correct answer is option 3, Yajur Veda. The Yajur Veda is one of the four Vedas, which are the sacred texts of Hinduism. It is known for containing sacrificial formulae or rituals. The Yajur Veda is divided into two main branches - the Krishna Yajur Veda and the Shukla Yajur Veda. The Krishna Yajur Veda has prose and verse form of sacrificial formulas, while the Shukla Yajur Veda mainly consists of verse form. These sacrificial formulas are used by priests during rituals and ceremonies, particularly fire rituals or yajnas. The Yajur Veda also contains prayers, hymns, and philosophical teachings. It is considered a valuable source of knowledge about ancient Indian culture and religious practices.
