Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) Samaveda
The Samaveda consists of verses mostly drawn from the Rigveda but arranged for chanting with melody, so it is linked to the origins of Indian music. The Rigveda has hymns to deities, the Yajurveda sacrificial formulas, and the Atharvaveda spells and everyday rituals.
