Which Philosophical system was founded by Vallabhacharya ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Vallabhacharya (1479–1531 CE) was the founding philosopher of the Shuddhadvaita school of Vedanta, which translates to "pure non-dualism" [t1][t2]. Unlike Adi Shankara's Advaita, which views the world as an illusion (Maya), Vallabhacharya's Shuddhadvaita posits that the universe is a real manifestation of Brahman and not an illusory projection [t2]. This system is also associated with the Rudra Sampradaya and the devotional path known as Pushtimarg, or the "path of grace," which emphasizes that liberation is attained through the grace of God [t1][t3]. In this philosophy, Brahman is considered both the material and efficient cause of the universe [t2]. Regarding the other options, Anekantavada is a core doctrine of Jainism, Visistadvaita (qualified non-dualism) was propounded by Ramanuja [t4][t5], and Maharastra Dharma refers to the socio-religious movement led by saints like Namdev and Tukaram in Maharashtra.
