The correct answer is

Rigveda

The correct answer is Rigveda.

The functionaries 'Senani', 'Kulapa', and 'Gramani' are primarily mentioned in the Rigveda. The Rigveda, the oldest of the four Vedas, is a collection of 1,028 hymns and 10,600 verses. These hymns offer insights into the societal structure, political organization, and daily life of the early Vedic people. The Rigveda mentions various social and political roles, and these specific titles reflect the organizational hierarchy and responsibilities within the early Vedic communities. While other Vedas might touch upon similar societal aspects, the Rigveda provides the most detailed and earliest record of these specific functionaries.
