The state of Jiva, if devoid of attachment and aversion is called in Jainism :

  • A.Bhāvasaṁvara
  • B.Dravyasaṁvara
  • C.Saṁvara
  • D.Āśrava

Answer: A

The state is called Bhavasamvara.

Samvara, the stoppage of the inflow (asrava) of karma, is described in two aspects. Bhavasamvara is the inner, psychic state of the soul that stops the inflow, a condition free of the passions of attachment and aversion. Dravyasamvara is the resulting actual stoppage of karmic matter from entering the soul.

A state of the jiva itself, devoid of raga and dvesa, is therefore the bhava aspect. Dravyasamvara names the material effect rather than the soul's state, plain samvara is the general term covering both, and asrava is the very inflow that samvara blocks, the opposite of what the stem describes.
