C
Both (A) and (B)
D
None of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Parināma-vāda is the term that refers to the non-advaitin theory of actual transformation. This is different from vivartavada, the advaita theory of apparent transformation. It is the theory that the effect is a real transformation of the cause.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Samkhya school of philosophy, which follows Prakṛti Parinama-vada (doctrine of the transformation of objective nature), describes the origination and evolution of universe through its theory of Satkāryavāda (Sanskrit: ) which is the theory of causation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The theory of Paramanuvada (atomic theory) and the Peelu Paka (chemical change) is probably the greatest contribution of Vaisheshika Darshana towards the development of basic sciences.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Buddhist philosophy of causality is primarily a theory (naya) of the human world. Its methodology, however, is objective and critical. It rejects the weight of mere authority or tradition, relies upon experience and reason, and emphasizes the critical examination and verification of all opinions.
