Which of the following is true about Jain religion ?
Answer: A
The true statement is that Jain religion is realistic and it does not acknowledge Vedas.
Jain philosophy holds that the world is real, made up of real substances, both living (jiva) and non-living (ajiva), which exist independently of the mind; in that sense it is realistic and pluralistic. Like Buddhism, Jainism is a nastika (heterodox) tradition: it rejects the authority of the Vedas and follows the teachings of the Tirthankaras.
The other options all say that Jainism accepts the Vedas, or a single Veda, which is wrong. Labelling it idealistic, naturalistic or pragmatic is also not the standard classification.
