Correct Answer
Explanation
Answer: b) 2. Explanation: Jainism divides the worldly cycle of time into two half-cycles, utsarpiṇī (ascending, progressive prosperity and happiness) and avasarpiṇī (descending, increasing sorrow and immorality). According to Jain cosmology, the universe is currently in the fifth ara of avasarpiṇī, which is full of sorrow and religious decline. After the sixth ara, the universe will be reawakened in a new cycle.
