C Correct answer
Explanation

Sam Veda is the correct answer because it is derived from the root word 'saman' meaning song or melody. The Sama Veda consists primarily of musical hymns and chants set to specific rhythmic patterns, making it the foundation of Indian classical music. The other three Vedas (Rig, Yajur, and Atharva) focus on prayers, rituals, and knowledge but do not emphasize musical composition like the Sama Veda.
