C . 1, 2, 3 and 4

D . 1, 3, and 4

Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
Dharma means a man was expected to follow religious rules/regulations, prescribed by Vedic canons. Besides, he should perform sacrifices, regularly in his life. Thus by following Dharma he could become free from the Rina (responsibility) of Gods.
Artha means he was also expected to follow some kind of occupation and earned money in his life. The Kama means he was expected to marry and generated progeny. It is perceived that by the marriage and giving birth to children he could become free from the Rina of his parents.
After kama and artha, he also expected to strive for Moksha or salvation. While performing his duties, he should always keep his eye on his ultimate goal, i.e. freedom from illusions of mundane life and uniting himself to the Gods.
