    Which among the following Vedic Texts gives a systematic exposition of the 'theory of rebirth' for the first time?

    A)  Chhandogya Upanishad

    B)  Mundaka Upanishad

    C)  Satapatha Brahmana

    D)  Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Chandogya Upanishad adds a third way for tiny living creatures (flies, insects, worms) that neither take the Devayana nor the Pitryana path after their death. Chandagya Upanishad asserts that the rebirth is the reason why the yonder- world never becomes full (world where living creatures in their after-life stay temporarily). These assertions suggest an attempt to address rationalization, curiosities and challenges to the reincarnation theory
