C,D Correct answer
Explanation

In Sanskrit, 'kshana' primarily means 'a moment' or 'an instant' - an extremely brief unit of time. In Buddhist and Hindu philosophy, it also relates to the concept of momentary annihilation or the impermanence of existence - each moment is fleeting and the next moment annihilates the previous state. Options A (second) and B (minute) are incorrect as they are standardized time units, not the Sanskrit concept.
