The correct answer is: Mahavira Jain.

Mahavira was a 6th-century Indian Jain monk, reformer, spiritual teacher, and the 24th Tirthankara (ford-maker or savior) of Jainism. He is also known as Vardhamana, Vira, and Nataputta.

Mahavira was born into a royal family in Kundagrama, near Vaishali, in the Indian subcontinent. He renounced his wealth and social status at the age of 30 to pursue a life of asceticism. He spent the next 12 years practicing severe austerities, including fasting and self-mortification.

After 12 years, Mahavira attained kevala jnana (omniscience). He then spent the remaining 30 years of his life teaching his followers about the path to liberation. He died at the age of 72 in Pawapuri, near Rajgir.

Gautama Buddha was a spiritual teacher who lived in India between the sixth and fourth centuries BCE. He is considered the founder of Buddhism, one of the world’s major religions.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was a 16th-century Indian Hindu saint and mystic. He is considered the founder of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, a major sect of Hinduism.

Rishabhdev was the first Tirthankara of Jainism. He is said to have lived in the 9th century BCE.
