B Correct answer
Explanation

Ayurveda is formed from two Sanskrit words: 'Ayur' meaning life and 'Veda' meaning knowledge or science. Thus, Ayurveda literally translates to 'Science of Life' or 'Knowledge of Life'. It is one of the world's oldest medical systems, focusing on holistic health and prevention rather than just curing diseases.
