Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The question asks for the means of knowledge involving linguistic utterances from reliable persons. In Indian philosophy, this is defined as Shabda Pramana (verbal testimony). Pratyaksha refers to direct perception, and Anumana refers to inference. Thus, knowledge derived from reliable testimony falls under Shabda Pramana.
