Correct Answer
Explanation
Answer: b) 5. In Jainism, souls go through five types of bodies: earth bodies, water bodies, fire bodies, air bodies, and vegetable lives. Explanation: According to the Saṃsāra doctrine of Jainism, souls are bound to the cycle of rebirths and go through different types of bodies as they circle through Saṃsāra. These bodies include earth bodies (minerals and rocks), water bodies (aquatic life), fire bodies (insects and birds), air bodies (animals), and vegetable lives (plants). The cycle of rebirths is believed to have a definite beginning and end in Jainism.
