The correct answer is: A) Ayurveda.

Ayurveda is a system of traditional medicine native to India. It is one of the world’s oldest holistic (whole-body) medical systems, and is still practiced widely today. Ayurveda is based on the idea that health is a state of balance between the mind, body, and spirit. It uses a variety of methods to restore balance, including diet, herbs, massage, and yoga.

The Nilambur Kovilakam was a royal palace in the Nilambur region of Kerala, India. It was founded in the 16th century by the Zamorin of Calicut. The palace was an important center of Ayurveda, and many of the royal family members were trained in the practice. The palace also had a large library of Ayurvedic texts.
