Correct Answer - Option 3 : ginger, tulsi and turmeric boiled in water with honey

Explanation:

Kadha:

• India is home to immeasurable Ayurveda remedies from ancient times.
• In Ayurveda remedies, 'Kadha’ is commonly proposed as a cure for fighting flu, cold, cough, and infections.
• Kadha refers to a medicinal drink, prepared from mixing different edible herbs and spices that are readily available in most Indian households.
• Ayurvedic kadha can not only protect you from seasonal infections triggered by changing weather conditions but may also work wonders for building your immunity.
• Kadha can be made ready in several ways.
• It is an amalgamation of many ingredients.
• In fact, every family may have a unique kadha recipe of their own.
• It is usually prepared by boiling various whole spices and herbs in water to release their medicinal qualities and benefits.
• Natural immunity boosters like honey, tulsi, turmeric and ginger are frequently blended with the spice mixture to make the decoction more powerful.

Thus, ginger, tulsi and turmeric boiled in water with honey are in the 'kadha' for Madhav.
