Correct:
A
Explanation
In early India, various standardized units were employed for measurement and literary composition:
- Muhurta: A traditional unit of time. In Vedic and astronomical texts, a day is divided into 30 Muhurtas, with one Muhurta equaling approximately 48 minutes.
- Raktika: A measure of weight based on the seed of the Abrus precatorius (commonly known as Ratti). It was the smallest unit used for weighing precious metals and gems.
- Angula: A fundamental unit of length, roughly equivalent to the width of a finger (approx. 1.75 cm). It was part of the linear measurement system alongside units like Dhanus and Hasta.
- Pada: In Sanskrit prosody (Chhandas), a Pada refers to a 'foot' or a quarter of a verse, serving as a structural unit for the metre of poetry.
Thus, the correct sequence is A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3, matching Option A.
