The correct answer is Option (2) → Krita, Treta, Dvapara and Kali
The Puranas and the Mahabharata describe a cycle of four ages in which goodness declines from one age to the next.
Krita (Satya) yuga — the first age, of perfect truth and goodness.
Treta yuga — the second age; goodness begins to decline.
Dvapara yuga — the third age; goodness declines further.
Kali yuga — the fourth age, of the greatest decline, believed in this tradition to be the present one.
