Solution
The correct option is A Jainism
Jainism is divided into two major sects, Digambara and Svetambara. There are some points of differences between the two. Digambaras stress the practice of nudity while Svetambaras assert that the practice of complete nudity is not essential to attain liberation. Svetambaras believe in the capability of women in attaining moksha as opposed to the view held by Digambaras. But there are no fundamental doctrinal differences between the two sects.
