Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Prajasthapana gana refers to a group of herbs or substances that promote fertility and reproductive health. According to Charak, Durva is not included in the Prajasthapana gana.
- Shiva, Avyatha, and Shatvirya are part of the Prajasthapana gana and are used in promoting fertility and reproductive health.
- Durva, although beneficial for other conditions, is not included in this particular group for fertility. Thus, the correct answer is (4) Durva.
