The correct answer to the question is option 3, Sulva Sutras. The Sulva Sutras are a set of ancient Indian texts that provide instructions for constructing geometric shapes, such as squares and circles, using ropes and pegs. These sutras are considered to be an important text in Vedic mathematics because they laid the foundation for practical applications of geometry in various fields such as construction, astronomy, and ritual ceremonies. Although the Satapatha Brahman, Atharva Veda, and Chhandogya Upanishad are also significant texts in Vedic literature, they do not specifically focus on mathematics or provide the same level of detailed instructions for geometric constructions as the Sulva Sutras.
