Solution

The correct option is B Belief in Rigorous Asceticism
Both Buddhism and Jainism give importance to the principles of Karma, Ahimsa and Atheism. But unlike Jainism, Buddhism was more lenient in matters related to observance of Asceticism for attaining Moksha. Gautama taught that a person should avoid the excess of both luxury and austerity. He rather prescribed the middle path.
