A.

Vastu

B.

Yam

C.

Kutup

D.

Vesra

Correct option is B


Correct Option: b)
The terminology used in texts like the Samaveda is crucial for understanding the evolution of musical thought.
Information Booster:
· In the Vedic period, the term "Yam" was used to denote the concept of a musical note or Swar (b).
· This is a well-documented fact from ancient Sanskrit texts on musicology, where the seven basic notes (Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni) were referred to by the names Yam, Rajan, etc.
· This is a direct repeat. In the Vedic period, the term "Yam" (b) was used for the musical note or Swara.
Additional Knowledge:
· The other terms are associated with different concepts: Vastu (subject matter), Kutup, and Vesra (not a standard musical term from this context).
