General KnowledgeStatic General Awareness
- AThe Siddha system is a holistic system of medicine.
- BSowa-Rigpa has been in practice in the Himalayan regions of India.
- CUnani system of medicine has been dissociated from the Ministry of Ayush.
- DSushruta Samhita is a major source of Ayurveda.
Explanation
The Siddha system is a holistic traditional medicine; Sowa-Rigpa is practised in the Himalayan regions such as Ladakh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh; and the Sushruta Samhita is a foundational Ayurvedic text on surgery. The Unani system, however, remains very much part of the Ministry of Ayush (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Homoeopathy) — it has not been dissociated from it. That statement is the incorrect one. Hence option C is correct.
