Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A (Therigatha)
थेरीगाथा बौद्ध साहित्य है। आचारांगसूत्र, सूत्रकृतांग और बृहत्कल्पसूत्र आरंभिक जैन साहित्य के भाग हैं。
TheTherigatha is a Buddhist scripture in which the early nuns (bhikshunis) recount their struggles and accomplishments along the road to spiritual attainment. Their stories are told with often heart-breaking honesty and beauty, revealing the deeply human side of these extraordinary women and thus serve as inspiring reminders of our potential to follow in their footsteps. Rest are the part of Jain scriptures.
