Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept: In a policy-list question, treat the official wording as a closed set. Retain every value explicitly named in the cited provision, and do not replace an official term with a merely related near-synonym.
Application
Application: Paragraph 11.8 of the National Education Policy 2020 lists the relevant universal values. Check statements A–E one by one against that wording:
A — Truth (satya) is explicitly listed.
B — Sympathy is not named in this list. The policy names love (prem), and elsewhere uses empathy; neither wording makes sympathy a listed item here.
C — Righteous conduct (dharma) is explicitly listed.
D — Nonviolence (ahimsa) is explicitly listed.
E — Scientific temper is explicitly listed.
Cross-check
Cross-check: Among A–E, the official list therefore contains A, C, D, and E, while B is not one of the stated terms. Hence the matching combination is A, C, D and E only.
Contrast
Contrast of the remaining combinations:
C and E only omits the listed values truth and nonviolence.
B, D and E only includes sympathy and omits the listed values truth and righteous conduct.
A, B, C and D only includes sympathy and omits the listed value scientific temper.
