This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2025 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (15-Jun-2025)
The correct answer is

Fourth

Fourth option is correct.

Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga (the eight-fold path laid out in the Yoga-sutras) prescribes a fixed sequence of eight limbs (angas) that a seeker must climb one after the other: (1) Yama, (2) Niyama, (3) Asana, (4) Pranayama, (5) Pratyahara, (6) Dharana, (7) Dhyana and (8) Samadhi. The first two are ethical restraints and observances, the third is posture, the fourth is control of the vital breath, and the last four move progressively inward toward absorption.

Counting from Yama as the first step, Pranayama occupies the fourth position in this hierarchy, coming after Asana and preceding Pratyahara. This ordering is uniform across every commentary on the Yoga-sutras and every teacher-education textbook that discusses Patanjali’s system.
