Solution
The correct option is A Sthalabahu
A great famine occurred about 200 years after the death of Mahavira and a group of monks under the leadership of Bhadrabahu went to the south to protect themselves while another group under the leadership of Sthulabahu stayed back in Magadha. When the group led by Bhadrabahu came back, they developed differences with the group led by Sthulabahu which culminated in schism in Jainism into Shvetambaras and Digambaras.
