Correct Answer: It rejects the authority of the Vedas and emphasises extreme non-violenceYour Answer: D

Explanation

Correct answer: वेदों की प्रामाणिकता का निषेध और कठोर अहिंसा. Jainism does not accept Vedic authority or a creator God and places exceptional emphasis on ahimsa. Mahavira was the twenty-fourth Tirthankara who reorganised and powerfully propagated an older tradition rather than creating it from nothing.
