According to the Mimamsa system of philosophy, liberation is possible by means of

  1. Jnana
  2. Bhakti
  3. Yoga
  4. Karma

Explanation

Option (d) is correct
  • According to the Mimamsa school, the Vedas contain the eternal truth. A person will enjoy the bliss of heaven so long as his accumulated acts of virtue last. When his accumulated virtues are exhausted, he will return to earth, but if he attains salvation, he will be completely free from the cycle of birth and death. To attain salvation, the Mimamsa school strongly recommended the performance of Vedic sacrifices, which needed the services of priests and legitimised the social distance between the various varnas.
Answer: (d) Karma
