A2, 3, 4 and 5 only
B1, 2, 3 and 5 only ✓ Correct
C1, 2, 3 and 4 only
D2, 3, 4 and 5 only
Correct answer: (B) 1, 2, 3 and 5 only — The correct statements are 1, 2, 3 and 5 only.
Explanation
★The correct statements are 1, 2, 3 and 5 only.
★Jainism survived through the principle of live and let live.
★It rested on Ahimsa Paramo Dharmah, non-violence as the supreme religion.
★Trade and commerce kept the Jain community prosperous, as commerce involves the least violence.
★Human fraternity bound the community together across regions.
★The idea of blood for blood is alien to Jain non-violence, so the fourth statement is wrong.
