B

C

D
All of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vedanta is the pursuit of knowledge into the Brahman and the Ātman. The Upaniṣads, the Bhagavadgītā and the Brahma Sūtras constitute the basis of Vedanta (known as the three canonical sources). Scripture (Sruti Śabda) is main reliable source of knowledge (pramana).

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Vedanta, God is infinite existence, infinite consciousness, and infinite bliss. The term for this impersonal, transcendent reality is Brahman, the divine ground of being. Yet Vedanta also maintains that God can be personal as well, assuming human form in every age.

Detailed explanation-3: -The teachings of Vedanta are mostly found in the texts of the Upanishads, the Brahmas Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita. The Upanishads give us the goal, the Bhagavad Gita gives us practical advice for getting there, and the Brahma Sutras discuss the nature of human existence and summarizes the teachings of the Upanishads.
