(a) Jnana
(b) Bhakti
(c) Yoga
(d) Karma
Ans: (d) Karma
Explanation: According to the Mimamsa system of philosophy, liberation is possible by means of (d) Karma. Mimamsa is a school of Hindu philosophy that focuses on the interpretation of the Vedas and the performance of rituals. According to Mimamsa, the performance of prescribed rituals (karma) in accordance with the Vedic injunctions leads to the accumulation of merit (punya) and eventually results in liberation (moksha). Mimamsa emphasizes the importance of ritualistic actions, precise performance, and adherence to Vedic injunctions as the means to attain spiritual liberation. While Jnana (knowledge), Bhakti (devotion), and Yoga (spiritual practice) are also considered significant in various other philosophical systems, the Mimamsa school specifically highlights the efficacy of Karma in attaining liberation.
