Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Sannyaasa is the fourth and final stage (Ashram) in the traditional Hindu Ashrama system. It is the stage of renunciation, where an individual renounces worldly possessions, desires, and responsibilities to focus on spiritual growth and liberation (Moksha).
The four Ashramas in Hindu culture are:
• Brahmacharya: The stage of learning and discipline.
• Grihastha: The householder stage.
• Vanaprastha: The stage of partial retirement.
• Sannyaasa: The stage of complete renunciation.
Sannyaasa marks the culmination of an individual’s spiritual journey, aiming for self-realization and freedom from the cycle of birth and death (Samsara).
