This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Mindfulness Meditation

Mindfulness meditation involves remaining openly aware of whatever sounds, sensations, and activities occur in the present moment, without fixing attention on any single object.

This open, non-judgemental awareness distinguishes it from Transcendental Meditation and mantra repetition, which rely on silently repeating a specific mantra, and from concentration meditation, which involves focusing intently on one object.

Because the description matches this open awareness approach, the correct answer is mindfulness meditation.
