Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Its sutras and sub-sutras
1. Mathematicians and STS scholars note the Vedas do not contain those sutras and sub-sutras.
2. The author claimed they came from a supplement to the Atharvaveda.
3. Numbers and ritual geometry do appear in Vedic texts, so they are not the issue.
