Nibbana as understand by Buddhism indicates :
Answer: C
Nibbana indicates the cessation of suffering.
The third of the Buddha's Four Noble Truths is the cessation of suffering (dukkha-nirodha). Nibbana is the state in which craving, the cause of suffering, has been extinguished, and with it the fires of greed, hatred and delusion and the cycle of rebirth. The word itself means 'blowing out'.
Nibbana can be attained in this life while the body continues, so it is not the cessation of the body. The Buddha remained active after enlightenment, so it is not the cessation of action. Actions done without craving bear no karmic fruit, but that is a consequence, not the meaning of nibbana.
