Solution

The correct option is D Jainism
'Anuvrata' is the small vows observed by a householder in Jainism in which he observes Ahimsa in the form of not killing any animal life. For Jain ascetics, they should observe greater vows or the 'Mahavrata'. In Jainism , Ahimsa is the standard by which all Karmas are judged.
