Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Ancient Indian education was strongly connected with spiritual and moral development. Its highest aim was to help the learner realize truth, discipline the inner self and move toward moksha or liberation. Material progress, vocational training and social values were present, but they were not the main aim. Therefore, emancipation or liberation is the correct answer.
