Explanation:

Correct Answer is (b).The original sentence is erroneous.
Reason: The word ‘temporary’ means ‘lasting for only a limited period of time’ and is unsuitable in this sentence. The correct word to be used here is ‘temporal’ which means ‘relating to worldly as opposed to spiritual affairs; materialistic’. Hence ‘temporal’ should be used in place of ‘temporary’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Among the given choices, only option B replaces the given bold part most appropriately.
The sentence after replacement becomes:
The Bhagavad Gita tells us how not to get too caught up in temporal affairs.Option B is hence the correct answer.
