Correct answer: C. A, C, D, E Onlyकेवल A, C, D, E
Explanation
Maitreyi and Gargi appear as learned women in the Upanishads; Apala and Lopamudra are women seers (rishikas) credited with hymns of the Rigveda. 'Viswambhara' is not a known Vedic woman scholar (the Rigvedic rishika is Vishvavara). Hence A, C, D, E only.मैत्रेयी और गार्गी उपनिषदों में विदुषी स्त्रियों के रूप में वर्णित हैं; अपाला और लोपामुद्रा ऋग्वेद के सूक्तों की ऋषिकाएँ हैं। 'विश्वम्भरा' कोई ज्ञात वैदिक विदुषी नहीं है (ऋग्वैदिक ऋषिका विश्ववारा हैं)। अतः केवल A, C, D, E।More Higher Education System questions
