Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

The correct matching is based on Nyaya-Vaisesika classifications of Abhava (non-existence). Anyonyabhava refers to mutual non-existence, represented by 'This is not that' (III). Atyantabhava denotes absolute non-existence, exemplified by Hare's Horn (I). Pradhvansabhava indicates posterior non-existence, such as a jar no longer existing (II). Pragabhava corresponds to the temporary absence or antecedent non-existence of an object (IV).
