B Correct answer
Explanation

The six Vedangas are Shiksha (phonetics), Kalpa (ritual), Vyakarana (grammar), Nirukta (etymology), Chhanda (meter), and Jyotisha (astrology/astronomy). Aranyakas are forest texts that form part of the Vedas themselves, specifically philosophical discussions between sages in forest settings, not auxiliary disciplines.
