The fundamental basis of Samkara’s theory of self is
A
Dualism
B
Pluralism
C
Non-dualism
D
Qualified monism
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For example it could be said that Brahman is not acit (unreal), nor asat (ignorance), nor is it dukkha (suffering). This method of describing Brahman is the reason for Sankara’s philosophy to be termed non-dualism instead of simply monism (Masih 66).

Detailed explanation-2: -Mostly, “non-dual” refers to monism: the doctrine that All is One, and all distinctions are ultimately illusory. Monism forms a false opposition with dualism: the doctrine that subjects and objects are definitely, objectively separated.
