Solution

The correct option is A both men and women
In order to spread the teachings of Jainism, Mahavira organised an order of his followers, which admitted both men and women. It is said that his followers counted around 14000 which is not a large number. Since Jainism did not very clearly mark itself out from the Brahmanical religion, it failed to attract the masses.
