Answer: Three Vedas

Option a is the correct answer Rig Veda, Yajur Veda and Sama Veda are collectively referred to as trayi Veda in Satapatha Brahmana. Rig Veda has hymns glorifying the Vedic gods for the prosperity of the people, Yajur Veda supplies the details relating to the sacrifices and Sama Veda contains hymns mostly culled from Rig Veda to be sung in order to praise the gods and manes. Atharva Veda is the youngest of all the four Vedas and was not present when Trayi Veda was introduced. Hence, Atharva Veda is not a part of Trayi Veda.

Predominantly in its explanation of sacrificial ceremonies, the Satapatha Brahmana delivers technical information of geometry and experimental astrophysics from the Vedic era.
