The correct answer is C.

The Vedas are the sacred writings of Hinduism and are considered the oldest religious texts in the whole world. The Vedas are composed of a large collection of hymns, magical enchantments, mythological stories, and sacred formulas to achieve enlightenment.

The Vedas are four: the Rig Veda, the Sama Veda, the Yajur Veda, and the Atharva Veda, each one can be subdivided into four parts: Samhitas, Brahmanas, Aranyakas, and Upanishads.
