Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A Put our bodies through lot of hardships.
B Perform penance.

Mahavira taught people that when we inflict sorrow on other living beings, we commit sins. So, we should not hurt any living being. To get rid of sins of our previous life, we have to perform penance by puting hardship over our own body.
