C Correct answer
Explanation

Yoga originated in ancient India within the Hindu tradition, with references found in Vedas, Upanishads, and later texts. While Jainism and Buddhism also developed meditative practices, yoga's philosophical and physical foundations are primarily Hindu. Christianity and Islam (Muslim) are not associated with yoga's origins.

AI explanation

Yoga originated within and is most closely associated with Hinduism, developing over thousands of years as part of Hindu philosophical and spiritual traditions (referenced in texts like the Vedas, Upanishads, and Bhagavad Gita), though its practices have since been adopted broadly across cultures and religions worldwide. Christianity, Islam ('Muslim' referring to a follower of Islam), and Jainism are distinct religious traditions with their own separate origins and practices, and while some may have adapted or incorporated yoga-like practices, the ancient, foundational religious association of yoga is with Hinduism.
