Solution

The correct option is C 2,3,4
Jain monks actually have actively involved in metaphysics discussions. Mahavira organized an order of his followers, which admitted both men and women. He was lenient towards women. Jainism even discouraged practicing agriculture because it may cause danger to smaller organisms in the soil. Jain texts were written in native and vernacular languages like Prakrit and Ardhamagadhi. So the statements 2, 3 and 4 are correct.
