Solution

The correct option is B Yagna
This ritual is called Yaga or Yagna. These are complex rituals involving offerings such as food grains, ghee, or milk. These are performed by priests in Sanskrit, by reciting shlokas. It was not only a complex process but also a very expensive process, that not many people could afford.
