Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B (Jainism)

स्थानकवासी श्वेतांबर जैनों का एक संप्रदाय है। यह संप्रदाय अपने पूर्ववर्ती सुधारवादी संप्रदाय 'लोंका' (Lonka), जिसकी स्थापना लोंकाशा (Lonkasha) ने की थी, से उत्पन्न हुआ। इस संप्रदाय के लोग मूर्तियों की पूजा नहीं करते।

Sthanakvasi is a sect of Shwetambara Jainism. This sect originated from its predecessor reformist sect 'Lonka' which was founded by Lonkasha. It believes that idol worship is not essential in the path of soul purification and attainment of Nirvana.
