Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
CONCEPT
An integrated educational system brings together broad fields that govern knowledge, public life, and conduct. To test a proposed set, distinguish a broad field of learning from a single precept that may sit within one of those fields.
APPLICATION
Statement | Meaning | Scope |
|---|---|---|
A — Ahimsa | Non-injury or non-violence | A specific ethical precept |
B — Dharma | Duty, normative order, and religion | A broad normative-religious field |
C — Darshan | Philosophical view or school | A broad field of philosophical inquiry |
D — Arthashastra | Statecraft, administration, and economics | A broad political-economic field |
E — Niti | Ethics, policy, and prudent conduct | A broad field of conduct |
Applying that distinction, the exam classification treats Dharma, Darshan, Arthashastra, and Niti as the coordinated fields. Ahimsa remains an important precept, but it is not counted as a separate field in this item.
CONTRAST
A, B and C only mixes the specific precept Ahimsa with the broad Dharma and Darshan fields.
A, C and D only mixes the specific precept Ahimsa with the broad Darshan and Arthashastra fields.
A, D and E only mixes the specific precept Ahimsa with the broad Arthashastra and Niti fields.
B, C, D and E only groups the four broad fields used by the exam classification.
CROSS-CHECK
The NTA final answer key for the reproduced UGC NET 19 June 2023 Shift 2 item, Question ID 1995, selects the answer value B, C, D and E only. This independently matches the field-versus-precept classification above.
RESULT
Therefore, the answer is B, C, D and E only.
