विकल्प

• I, II, and III

• II, III, and IV

• I, II, and IV

• I, III, and IV

Answer 1

I, II, and IV

Jainism holds that karma governs the cycle of birth and rebirth, that renunciation of the world is necessary, and that Ahimsa (non-violence) is a core principle. Since salvation is linked to monastic life rather than worldly living, statement III is incorrect.
