The correct option is A Kevala Jnana
Kevala jnana means omniscience in Jainism and is roughly translated as complete understanding or supreme wisdom.

Sallekhana is the religious practice of voluntarily fasting to death by gradually reducing the intake of food and liquids.

Nirvana is a place of perfect peace and happiness, like heaven.The origin of the word nirvana relates to religious enlightenment; it comes from the Sanskrit meaning "extinction, disappearance" of the individual to the universal.
