The correct answer is: A. Parsvanatha<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Tirthankara is a spiritual teacher who shows the path to liberation from the cycle of rebirth. The Jains believe that there have been 24 Tirthankaras, and that the next one will be Mahavira.<\/p>\n

Parsvanatha is said to have been born into a royal family. He renounced his wealth and position at a young age to pursue a life of asceticism. He is said to have attained enlightenment after 12 years of penance.<\/p>\n
