Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer according to the source is Kartik Purnima.
The book states that what is known as Hunter's Moon in the West is called Kartik Purnima in India.
It describes Kartika Purnima as a sacred festival celebrated across India and says that it is a Hindu, Sikh and Jain holy festival observed on the Purnima, or full-moon day, of the month of Kartik, generally corresponding to November-December.
The source also gives several alternative names: Tripuri Purnima, Tripurari Purnima, Deva-Diwali and Deva-Deepawali, with the latter described as the 'festival of lights of the gods'.
These details make the question especially useful for alternative-name and lunar-calendar preparation.
The direct source-based association is Hunter's Moon — Kartik Purnima.
Students should additionally remember Kartik Purnima — full moon of Kartik — November-December — Hindu, Sikh and Jain observance — also called Tripuri Purnima, Tripurari Purnima, Deva-Diwali or Deva-Deepawali.
Pausha, Magha and Chaitra Purnima are separate full-moon observances and therefore function as strong distractors.
Since the source explicitly makes the Hunter's Moon comparison, that wording should be preserved as a source-specific association rather than broadened beyond what the book supports.
For examination purposes, this one question provides several useful synonyms and religious associations.
Therefore option (d), Kartik Purnima, is correct according to the source.
स्रोत के अनुसार सही उत्तर Kartik Purnima है। पुस्तक बताती है कि West में जिसे Hunter's Moon कहा जाता है, उसे India में Kartik Purnima कहा जाता है। Source Kartika Purnima को पूरे भारत में मनाया जाने वाला sacred festival बताता है और कहता है कि यह Hindu, Sikh और Jain holy festival है। यह Kartik month की Purnima अर्थात full moon day पर मनाया जाता है और source इसे सामान्य रूप से November-December period से जोड़ता है। पुस्तक इसके कई alternative names भी देती है: Tripuri Purnima, Tripurari Purnima, Deva-Diwali और Deva-Deepawali। Deva-Deepawali को source 'festival of lights of the gods' के रूप में describe करता है। इसलिए यह question alternative names और lunar-calendar based GK के लिए बहुत उपयोगी है। Direct association है: Hunter's Moon — Kartik Purnima। इसके साथ पूरा cluster याद करें: Kartik Purnima — Full Moon of Kartik — November-December — Hindu, Sikh and Jain observance — Tripuri Purnima — Tripurari Purnima — Deva-Diwali/Deva-Deepawali। Pausha, Magha और Chaitra Purnima अलग full-moon observances हैं और इसलिए अच्छे distractors हैं। Source Hunter's Moon से specific comparison करता है, इसलिए इसे उसी source-specific association के रूप में preserve किया गया है। इस एक प्रश्न से कई synonyms और religious associations revise किए जा सकते हैं। इसलिए source के अनुसार विकल्प (d), Kartik Purnima, सही उत्तर है।
