Explanation:

 . Second option is correct.
• The Samkya School believes in Dualism and says that there are only two realities viz. Purusha and Prakriti.
• While Purusha is eternal, pure consciousness, Prakriti is substance or realm of matter. Prakriti consists of varying levels of three dispositions or categories of qualities viz. Activity (rajas), Inactivity (tamas) and Harmony (sattva).
• An imbalance in the intertwined relationship of these three dispositions causes the world to evolve from Prakriti. This evolution from Prakriti causes the creation of 23 constituents, including intellect (buddhi), ego (ahamkara) and mind (manas).
• As per this school, life or Jiva is a state in which puru?a is bonded to prakriti through the glue of desire, and the end of this bondage is moksha. Thus, the Samkhya School does not believe in existence of God but only two realities Purush and Prakriti.
• However, it does not describe what happens after moksha and does not mention anything about God, because after liberation there is no essential distinction of individual and universal puru?a. Thus, what happens after Moksha is irrelevant thing for this school.
• However, despite not believing in God, the Samkhya School believed in Doctrine of Karma and transmigration of souls. It also believes in existence of many living souls (Jeevatmas) who possess consciousness.
• It says that Puru?a, the eternal pure consciousness, due to ignorance, identifies itself with products of Prakriti such as intellect (buddhi) and ego (ahamkara). This results in endless transmigration and suffering.
• However, once the realization arises that Puru?a is distinct from Prakriti, the Self is no longer subject to transmigration and absolute freedom arises.
• The Samkhya system accepts three pramanas or means of valid knowledge. These are Pratyaksha or perception, Anumana or Inference and Shabda or verbal testimony.
• According to the Samkhya philosophy the principle cause for the individual soul to undergo misery is the fact that he thinks he is the performer of all activities. It is actually the Prakriti (Generally translated as ‘Nature’), which is responsible for all the happenings in the life of a human being. The Prakriti is of the form of the three qualities Sattva, Rajas and Tamas and is also the root cause of the entire universe. A human being thinks that he himself is responsible for all the happenings in his life, which is not true according to the Samkhya philosophy. This is due to the fact that he does not realize that it is actually the Prakriti that is responsible for all the happenings.
