RAMANUJA

●  Ramanuja [1017-1137] consolidated and systematically expounded the philosophy of southern Vaisnavism known as Visistadvaita.

●  According to him, ‘the way to moksha lies through karma, gyan and bhakti. When bhakti matures and becomes complete, the soul has a vision of god’.Thus, he propagated the cult of devotion to God and preached that salvation lies only in this.

Hence, option a is correct.
