This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2015 Paper 1 Question Paper (27-Dec-2015)
The correct answer is

Chhanda

The six Vedangas are auxiliary sciences for the correct use of the Vedas: Shiksha, Kalpa, Vyakarana, Nirukta, Chhanda and Jyotisha.

Chhanda deals with prosody, that is, the metres in which the Vedic hymns are composed, and Pingala's Chhandasutra is its classic text.

Shiksha covers phonetics, Kalpa covers ritual, and Nirukta covers etymology of difficult words.

Hence, Chhanda.
