‘Patichchha-samuppada or pratityasamutpada’, is related to which of the following?

Question

The process by which life continues and one thing leads to another is explained by the chain of causation (patichchha-samuppada or pratityasamutpada), literally meaning dependent origination).
The root cause of the process of birth and death and rebirth is ignorance, the fundamental illusion that individuality and permanence exist, when in fact they do not.
Hence there arise in the organism various psychic phenomena, including desire, followed by an attempt to appropriate things to itself. This is typified especially by sexual craving and sexual intercourse, which are the actual causes of the next links in the chain, which concludes with age and death, only to be repeated again and again indefinitely.
Therefore, rebirth—according to the law of Karma— takes place. The Buddhist Karma is not essentially different from that of Hinduism, though it is explained rather differently.
