Solution

The correct option is B Riches
Mahavir attained ‘Kevala Gnana’, or the highest and purest form of knowledge. Because he renounced the undesired, material things, and the physical comforts attached to them to attain enlightenment, he was called a Jina. Vardhaman was also called a Mahavira because he was courageous and resolute enough to be able to conquer all his passions.
