Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
In Indian logic and epistemology, Upamiti (or Upamana) is the valid means of knowledge derived from analogy or comparison. It occurs when one learns about an unknown object by comparing it to a known object based on shared characteristics. For instance, understanding the shape of a gavaya (wild cow) by comparing it to a known domestic cow. This distinguishes it from Pratyaksha (direct perception) and Anumiti (inference).
