Solution

The correct option is B Brahmacharya
It is commonly believed that Mahavira only added the principle of observing Brahmacharya to the earlier existing principles of always telling the truth (Sathya), do not hurt any living thing (Ahimsa), do not possess any wealth (Aparigraha). These four principles forms the backbone of Jainistic life style.
