Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Lokayata Darshana is another name for Charvak Darshana, an ancient Indian materialistic and atheistic philosophy. Charvak philosophy is known for its rejection of the Vedas, metaphysical concepts, and the notion of an afterlife. It emphasizes that direct perception (pratyaksha) is the only valid means of knowledge and advocates materialism and hedonism. According to this philosophy, the primary goal of life is to seek happiness and avoid pain, as there is no existence beyond the physical world.
