Answer: (c)
Vedang is auxiliary to the four Vedas essential for the correct interpretation of the Vedas.
Mundaka Upanisad mentions that there are six Vedanga which is as follows:
Siksha is related to sound, letters, pronunciation, the method of teaching and learning of these basic elements.
Kalpa: Vedic system involves Karmakaanda (system of prescribed acts and rituals).
Vyaakaran / Grammar:- Vyakarana is considered to be a principal part of the six Vedaangas.
Nirukta:- Nirukta is a kind of commentary on Nighantu, which is a collection of difficult words of the Veda.
The composition of the Vedas indicates consummate development of the knowledge of the poetic meter, chhandas.
The sixth Vedaanga relates to Jyotisa - astronomy and astrology. Jyotisa is considered to be the science of light, and it is looked upon as the eyes among the Vedaangas.
