Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct matching of List I and List II is:
- Ghrita corresponds to Shleshma Vivardhana (increase of mucus or phlegm), as Ghrita is a medicated ghee used for increasing bodily fluids and promoting mucous production.
- Taila corresponds to Mrudukaram (softening effect), as oils like Taila (oil) are used to provide a softening or lubricating effect on tissues.
- Vasa corresponds to Paurushopachaye (increase in strength or virility), as Vasa (fat or marrow) is related to increasing vitality and strength.
- Majja corresponds to Sthirakaram (stabilizing effect), as Majja (bone marrow) stabilizes the body's internal balance and promotes nourishment. Thus, the correct matching is (A)
-(III), (B)
-(I), (C)
-(IV), (D)
