Solution

The correct option is A Ardhamagadhi
The early Jainas discarded Sanskrit language mainly patronized by the Brahmins. Their religious literature was written in Ardhamagadhi, and texts were finally compiled in the sixth century A.D. in Gujarat at a place called Valabhi, a great center of education.
