If Āsrava is controlled by rites and rituals, it is called :
Answer: B
The key gives Dravyasamvara. The classification of rites and vows under it is the key's reading, and I could not confirm it in a single source.
In Jainism asrava is the inflow of karmic matter and samvara is its stoppage. It is divided into bhavasamvara, the inner state of the soul free of attachment and aversion that checks the inflow, and dravyasamvara, the actual stopping of the karmic matter, which is carried out through outward means such as vows, restraint and observances. Rites and rituals are outward means, so the key places them under dravyasamvara.
Bhavasamvara is the mental state itself, not an outward practice. Samvara alone is the general name for both, and asrava is the opposite process. Some Jain texts count vows under bhavasamvara or do not list them as a kind of samvara, so a different textbook could shift the answer.
