Solution
The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
Jainism did not condemn the Varna system, as Buddhism did. According to Mahavira, a person is born in a high or in a lower Varna in consequence of the sins or the virtues acquired by him in the previous birth. At the same time early Jainas discarded Sanskrit and adopted the Prakrit language of the common people to preach their doctrines. So correct option is D.
