Answer: (B) Ashtangik Marg

The Eightfold Path is the Ashtangika Marga: right view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness and concentration, the fourth of the Four Noble Truths. Dharmachakrapravartana ('turning the wheel of law') is the name of the Buddha's first sermon at Sarnath. Nirukta is Yaska's work on etymology, one of the six Vedangas. Vimukta means 'liberated' and is not the name of the path.
