Answer:
D - An infinite number of jivas or souls.
Explanation:
As the exercise briefly mentions, Jainism holds that the universe has an infinite number of jivas, which are souls or lifeforms. This rests upon the term "Nigod" which is a common body shared by the Jivas, which are innumerable among the universe. This body shared could be jivas from Heaven, Earth or Hell, all coexisting inside the Nigod. Even the tiniest living being possess a Jiva or, in other words, all life forms are one. From fire to water to vegetation.
