Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A (Jamali)

भगवान महावीर का जन्म जातृक क्षत्रियों के संघ के प्रधान सिद्धार्थ के यहां 599 ई.पू. में हुआ था। उनकी पत्नी का नाम यशोदा था, उनसे प्रियदर्शना नामक एक पुत्री उत्पन्न हुई। उस पुत्री का विवाह जामालि नाम के व्यक्ति से हुआ था, जो बाद में महावीर स्वामी का अनुयायी बन गया। यह उनका प्रथम शिष्य था।

Among the early visitors to Mahavira during his wandering was Jamali, his son-in- law. Jamali met Mahavira while the latter was in Kshatriya- Kundagram, the village where Mahavira was born. He took the vow together with five hundred of the warrior caste. Jamali was the first disciple of Lord Mahavira.
