Solution

The correct option is A True
The doctrine of Karma is one of the main pillars of Jain philosophy. According to Mahavira, the human soul is constrained to a cycle of rebirth and this transmigration of the soul is completely dependent on its Karma. Based on Karma, a soul undergoes transmigration and reincarnates in various states of existence. This cycle continues until the soul attains Moksha through purification..
