Samkhya theory of self has been criticised on the basis of
A
Illogical
B
Proofs for practical self only
C
Confusion between Jiva and Atman
D
All of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Samkhya is the oldest of the orthodox philosophical schools, and it holds that everything, in reality, is derived from Purusha (self, soul, or intellect) and Prakriti (matter, creative agency, energy).

Detailed explanation-2: -The highest of the three is sattva (essence), the principle of light, goodness and intelligence. Rajas (dust) is the principle of change, energy and passion, while tamas (darkness) appears as inactivity, dullness, heaviness and despair.

Detailed explanation-3: -One of the key differences between Samkhya Philosophy and Advaita Vedanta is that they accept both Nirguna Brahman and Saguna Brahman. Prakriti is the physical world and links to the cosmic energy or shakti, which is the feminine side of Brahman.

Detailed explanation-4: -The conclusion of the atheistic Sankhya philosophy is that because the effects-the phenomena of this material world-are temporary, or illusory, the cause is therefore also illusory.
